Titan Attachments Experience

[Hdoilcan]

I've read only good things about Titan Attachments.

I have to take back my comment..... I'm going thru a bad experience right now with Titan. To be fair I won't mention what's going on until I know if they are going to make things right or not.

I got a chance to do a little clean and some wood with the new grapple.

A question for those who bought the 48" pallet forks:
What size pallet were they shipped on and did they hang over any edge of the pallet?

Mine are arriving at the freight depot on Friday and I need to know which truck to bring. My normal, everyday truck has a contractor's cap on it with a 50" opening between the 2 doors. I can borrow my buddy's truck (he's out to sea at the moment) with an open bed if need be.

If it comes down to it you can just remove the 3 parts from the pallet and slide them in the back of your truck. Easily done by 1 person if you can raise the pallet to bed height. That or likely just rotate the pallet 90 degrees. I can't confirm the pallet size though, even for my 42" forks, it was a while ago. I wouldn't rely on pallets being the same size either, not like it's a critical component that never changes.

My 48" came on a standard pallet (48" x 42"). You'll have no trouble, you can muscle them around if you have to. Frame & forks are lying flat about 8" high above the pallet.

To make a long story short, I had a delivery issue with Titan concerning my 60" JD grapple. I tried to remain positive and patient, and I received the grapple approximately 2 weeks late after I convinced them their tracking number was wrong and my grapple was never delivered. To make matters worse, today when I tried to install the new grapple on my FEL, I realized the bottom pins are not spaced properly to fit the FEL They were welded about 1/2" too high which does not allow them to fit into the pin hole frame on the FEL (the welds all over the grapple are a subject for a different day).

I will withhold final judgment until Titan decides what to do with the grapple. Will they pay to have a welder come out to grind off the lower pin brackets and re-weld in the proper location? Will they pick it up, re-package everything, send it back and send me a new grapple? I certainly don't want to load this thing up, re-package with angle iron and wire and transport to a shipper. And I certainly don't want to drive the tractor and grapple to a welding shop 10 miles each way from our property to have the grapple pins refitted by a welder. This is very inconveniencing to say the least. Hopefully, Titan will find a viable and timely solution.

I don't know. I called them and they told me to send them pictures. I did within 5 minutes. However, they did not respond to my email this afternoon. Hopefully, I'll hear something positive first thing Monday morning. I'll see what happens. So far, I'm certainly not having a good experience.

I like Titan but have to admit their fit is on again, off again. I have no idea why. Good prices, decent quality, but the dimensions are a flip of the coin.

I really dont want to get into details but I will just say I will NEVER buy from them again. There is a saying...... "you get what you pay for"...... this is true.

Titan's advise was to grind the pin to the point that it will fit into the hole on the bottom of the FEL. That is roughly 1/4" less diameter the entire length of the pin... I realize most of the strength lies with the connector at the top of the grapple and not at the bottom connection. What do y'all say about the reduction in strength of the pin?

I have a bale spear and 48" pallet fork for my t250 bobcat track skid loader. I have the power bobtac option on my loader. I have had issues with the pin plate on the bottom of the ssqa frame bending. Say something got between the two plates, and the ssqa didnt sit back all the way. THe pin would come down and hit the flat steel and bend the **** out of it. I think they need to beef that up, or make it so that instead of each ear being its own peice, that the pin pockets need to be a solid peice of steel all the way across. I will post pictures of what i did to mine in the morning. I took an welded a place across the entire bottom of the ssqa plate. Its almost 1/2" now. No more bending!

Yikes. Better exchange it for one out of the next container coming over from China. :laughing: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :laughing:

Return it and get something from a reputable company. Do you really want to watch that thing turn back into recycled rusted scrap over the next 13 months?
