Managed to bend a tine 🙄😂
Does anyone know of one of these on the shelf or if there is such a thing as non genuine? They can only be bought as a pair from the dealer. Thank you.

If you have managed to bend it then take it to your local Engineer with a large 100 ton press who will manage to unbend it.
I 'unbend' them regularly because farmers think pallet forks are indestructible multi purpose digging tools, tree stump removal levers, concrete floor breakers & twisted trailer chassis straightening machines :rolleyes:

I’ll get shot down by the “experts” on here but it’s perfectly safe and simple to straighten them. PM me if you want me to talk you through it.
Putting them cold in a press isn’t the recommended technique

Could you not tell us on here how to straighten them as I’m sure plenty of us have bent one before

Heat it, straighten it, don’t let it cool too quickly. A space heater blasting on it is ideal to keep heat in.
Then load test it by hanging 3 or 4 ton off the tip. It should deflect with weight and spring back at rest
