Anyone know where Titan Attachments are made?

[trktrman]

The intention of this thread was not to hear about customer service(bad or good) and deals.
Those topics are welcome as long as the true point isn't overlooked.

To add, because I guess this got overlooked.....

I stumbled upon the info and was pretty surprised. I shared the info to see if this was known, or a surprise to others and to open an interesting discussion.

To my knowledge, such chinese importing is either:
#1 not very common in the tractor/implement industry
#2 not disclosed and left up to assumption

If there are other companies in the industry that do the same, feel free to add.....

Thread looks like a drive-by to me.

 

[jgrreed]

J., how are they being dishonest?

Keep searching. Titan has a history.

Some have gotten lucky, some not so much.

If you really believe this you are naïve, un-informed, or both.

Manufacturing implements in Far East? Who knew? I'm shocked!

My experience with Titan has been all good on 4000lb. X 48" pallet forks, 72" fork extensions, 4000lb. X 48" clamp-on pallet forks with stabilizer bar. The Clamp-On forks are now for sale on my private party ad, as sold tractor I used them on. They are like new and work well.

None of the above.

Why are some acting like the subject is something terrible?

Is it something that should not be talked about? Taboo? :confused3:

When I'm embarrassed or have a guilty conscious, I don't want to talk about it.

It is common knowledge that majority of tractors, implements, etc. are not made in USA. You must be among the few that are not aware of this?

Murph, they are one the few exceptions and I believe even some of their low end product are built outside USA.

My pallet forks had the improper spec for the SSQA. Tytan promptly responded & gave me options to make it right. New frame promptly shipped or $70 to give to a local welder to fix it (reasonable).

I took the $ and fixed it myself in under an hour with $20 of steel.

I'd do business with them again. Their products aren't perfect, but they make sure things are right with the deal.

The issue I'm having now is that their response is anything but prompt. Their starting offer was $30, which set me off immediately. I've been asked three times if I had experience welding, which wouldn't be as much an issue if it wasn't the same guy asking the question. These people are in more all day meetings than any company I have ever seen.

To be honest, I do not believe they place a high value on customers, at least not past the immediate sale.

The real story here is that our government has imposed so many regulations, taxes and obstacles to conduct business that makes this possible. We provide most of the raw materials, ship them to China where they turn them into something we want, ship them back yet still sell them for less than we can buy the materials for. The country I grew up in is has been diminished to a nanny state that only manufactures "thinkers" who've been indoctrinated to believe humans (especially Americans) are the tribulation of the planet. Unions also have blood on their hands in the killing of what was once the greatest industrial nation the world will ever know. The slogan "Buy American" will soon be as rare as "one nation under God".

Ever hear of a guy named Carnegie?

I think something you guys are over looking is I'm sure it costs them to have these grapples shipped to them and they do offer free shipping but they have to pay something which I assume would be atleast 100-150 bucks to freight these so its not like they are making any kind of killing profit wise on these! I've ordered forks from titan and a ssqa plate and both were shipped fast and I had a missing latch on the forks that was replaced as soon as I emailed them. My experiences have been good with titan and I would do business again!

And what happens when you get a bad whatever (tiller, grapple, ...) direct from China and have to return it? How's your Chinese? Do you need a replacement part?
I've known of people who have gotten together to order a bunch of Chinese tractors direct and were happy with the results. But the hassle was not worth my time.

Well we will understand if it is NOT TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE it probably does not exist in your mind.

I've been "lucky" I guess, 2 excellent sets of pallet forks and a clamp on-trailer hitch. I wouldn't go for their grapple though, looks too lightweight.

Wow. Other than making false comparisons, sweeping generalizations, and connecting dots in a non-logical manner... I guess the point is, you don't understand the topic very well.

That's quite some fallacious rant.
