They delivered the Thumb but the FedEx driver literally dropped it in the driveway, kind of felt bad for the driver, the thumb was 138 lbs.FYI to everyone. Titan's advertisement said it would be delivered to home or business. I don't have a business, so I chose my home address. When the day came for the delivery, I got a call from TFORCE Freight, apparently they bought out UPS Freight, and said they don't come down driveways. I would have to come to the road and unload the grapple from the truck. Based on the advertisement, I was under the impression that they came to the house and had the capability to unload it.
I ended up having to drive 60 miles to the freight terminal and have them load it on my pickup truck. Luckily, I had recently bought a pair of pallet fork tines (without the frame) and set them on the skid steer quick attach arms. They just hung by their own weight. Somehow, I was able to get the 855 lb grapple out of the pickup and to the ground without mishap.
Just be aware if ordering from Titan, they will not come to the home and you will be responsible for unloading it youself. Perhaps this is common with all freight deliveries? This was my first.
