Quick Hitches Titan 3 point to SSQA Adaptor

I just sent off for this as I caught it on sale at 272 bucks I thought it was worth a shot.

Titan Attachments 3 Point to Universal Quick Tach Adapter Skid Steer Tractor

Does anyone have one and know if it works with the HF quick hitch?

Thanks Lenny

I do not have the HF quick hitch. So cannot help with that.
...But I do have the Titan 3 point to SSQA. And like it for what it is. I also have a hydraulic top link, so that makes it easy to connect to SSQA attachments.
It is heavy, so a bit of a pain to connect to three point arms, I made a jig out of some scrap 2x4s and a furniture dolly, to easily roll it around, and hook up.
.. I use it mostly with my tree puller, as I use it on rear of tractor, while leaving Grapple on front. Have cleared acres of saplings with it
..Also use it for my pallet forks, and homemade platform for a carryall. And sometimes with the bucket.

That's my plan is to use it with the bucket on with the grapple on front.
With rear remotes and top tilt eventually, it'll be an interesting addition!

One review states will not work with CAT 1 quick hitch.

Pretty slick. I was thinking of making my tree pulled so it would do both ssqa and 3pt.

It would be cheap but a lot of bracing. This could be the way to go.

It wouldn't take much more bracing and would set in closer than on an adapter to SSQA.

Just copy this frame design:

On the SSQA:

Here is a puller that fits both ends from: Buckthorn Puller - Custom built attachments to fit almost any need you may have.

Well, I got it and sad to say. It will NOT work with a HF quick hitch out of the box.
What is irritating is that with only a little bit of care and setup with welding certain braces, it would work perfectly.
Titan, you screwed the pooch on this one.



By moving the two braces out in line with the other frame members, this could have worked just fine. No extra expense or labor. 5/8" inch total means 5/16" on either side.

So. It's heavily built. Seems well constructed. Must be careful with the SSQA lever handles as they can terrify the rear tail lights if the top link isn't extended out quite a bit. All in all it is a quality product.

Now I have to go buy a plasma cutter, sigh.... and a welder, sigh.... to move the two pieces of outer angle outwards enough to work with the QH and then of course finish contract negotiations with Brian @ Fitrite for rear remotes so it can dump as needed.

A man's work is never done.

Lenny double check the distance (stroke) you'll need to dump. I don't think you can fit a long enough cyl in place of the top link to make it happen.
I've tried. It's handy to have a bucket on the back for tools or loose hand filled stuff, and the rear forks are great, snowplow is handy too.

Seriously considered this Titan attachment as a Christmas present to myself. Sorry to hear modifications are necessary. Was thinking of attaching my SSQA 6 ft snow bucket as a rear tool carrier. Could collect firewood as well , for others, since I no longer bother with it. But have 50 acres of woods, harvested for maintenance last year, and still tops and sizable limb wood available to collect. Use hydraulic top link, so it could be practical to adjust pitch. The capacity of the 9540 above would certainly be welcomed.

I didn't have to make any modifications to mine, it works fine for me. I have a hydraulic top link....But I do not have a HF quick hitch.

 

[DABSGT]

I purchased one for my John Deere 2032 2 years ago works great with my snow plow and I picked up a #pt fork attachment and use it on that as well was a good buy for me thinking of trying York rake next year

Don't get me wrong. It does work as is right out of the box. Just not with my Quick hitch from Harbor Freight.
Those that run Pat's quick hitches or none at all will be able to use it just fine.

I'm going to modify it only to allow it to be used with my HF Quick Hitch.
Or I may convert to the Pat's system as I've gotten used to using the "stirrup" top link attachment with my QH anyway and get off to connect it everytime. I'm not sure where my hook is actually right at the minute.

After careful thought, (and a slow day at work!) I've ordered a set of Pats hitch system to arrive home by the time I get there next week.
One of the pluses I read about was having the extra room to connect the PTO shaft up driven items like my flail and mowers. Sometimes it is a PITA with the QH on to get in there.

Now I have to come up with new excuses for a plasma cutter and welder....

Curious if this is of any practical use at all if you don't have a hydraulic top link. I may end up with two buckets and I'm wondering if I can do anything other than static use of the rear bucket for carrying things if I have no rear hydraulics. All I can think is that I would put the toplink in shortest positions so bucket faces up a bit, and carry tools or perhaps some logs for additional ballast.

From there, how useful is it if you do have a hydraulic toplink? I'm guessing you won't be using to routinely scoop and release materials.

Wow, now $419 bucks... OP was from Dec 2017, LOL.

 

[gcdible1]

I’m wanting one myself. Now they are $539!

I bought their JD style headboard for forks - I already had a set of the forks I got from the scrapyard. I put it off until I actually got the tractor and the price in spring of 2020 had then just gone up to about $275 if i remember correctly. Price is now $475. That same summer I bought a Sundown branded log grapple locally for $1550 and it was $1450 through Titan then. It's now $2100. Titan prices have gone up a lot in just the last year. It's probably the same with most implements at most dealers, but it's real noticeable with the Titan (palletforks.com) ones.

I have two one for my tractor without a front end loader but with two rear hydraulic valves . That way I can use my grapple,forks etc on my non front end loader tractor. The other one goes on front end loader tractor , tree/post puller on rear and grapple on front for land or fence line clearing. I’ve had them several years and they are a life saver. Both my tractors have hydraulic top links.
