One side of SSQA comes out of slot on one front implement

Good pics X!!!

Titan has a history of those issues. My pallet forks 3-4 years ago had that issue. They offered to swap the frame or pay me a few bucks to go away (in theory take it to a welder to weld a shim over the bottom of the holes to make the angle on the pin engage sooner). I pocketed the refund h busted out the welder.

I still stand by my statement it's probably a bit much for a loader on a CUT. I got lucky on my L3200 when a fork popped off the frame rather than bending the curl cylinders. I was doing stupid things with a bucket spade on the end of the forks.

I'll recheck but almost sure the lower pin goes pretty deep into the hole. I see a nut on top of the spring on top of the pin and wondered if that is an adjustment point. Anyone know? Know? Done it?

The slack we are talking about can allow the top to pop out. Generally manufacturers don't make the top flange any bigger than they have to.

And on some Kubota's it doesn't extend up and out far enough, so if there is a big enough gap at the bottom the attachment can slide up and off:

Compare to Bobcat's top edge:

Also notice the amount of space at the heal on the bottom. My snow plow attachment plate allows for more of a gap at the bottom. The pins always engage solidly, but that heal should be closer. I've noticed that the tighter it is to the SSQA plate, the less the pin will move under load.

My forks also caused my SSQA plates to twist a little. I think the SSQA on these L series are just strong enough for the loader and typical bucket. Bigger SS attachments just can't be supported with these.

My issue was different. You can see with the pins all the way down, they weren't right in the slot on the forks. The standard fix is weld a chunk of steel over the bottom side of the hole in the forks. So the angle on the pin hits the shim first & tightens up rather than rattling around loose.

The slot was a little over 1" wide when I was done rather than the 2" or so seen in the attachment.

Fallon, whoever made that unit must have been using hand grenades or horse shoes for gauging.

It has been an intermittent issue for Titan (palletforks.com) for years. They handle issues quickly in one way or another when encountered. It would be nice if they had better QA to prevent them from making it out though.
