What do you do with your forks?

Like clockwork. You can tell they've done that before.

Helped my friend/neighbor unload the old, then load a new fridge into his bus a few years ago:


This was my older heavy homemade set, now I have the Artillian ones that are much lighter so I can lift more.

Wooden forks did the job today.

Sold my MMM to a fellow TBN member in Arkansas and needed to move my it from storage in the icy woods, to inside my cargo van.
Not owning a set of forks, I had to fabricate a set out of wood.Today was the test run and they did great. Easily lifted
the mower with it positioned perpendicular to the bucket. Use one HD strap to secure them to the bucket, placed a scrap
piece on pressed board over the forks, slid the pallet on, and off we went. Posted some photos below.

Looks good, works gooder.

Got to try out my forks today. I'm not sure exactly why this is, but there's a substantial gap between the bottom of my QA and the bottom of the plate on the forks. Tell me this is not normal, because they've already popped off while stacking a couple logs. <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/attachments/406340-what-do-you-do-your-image-1435817224-jpg"/> This pic was taken from the front of the tractor for reference.

For those who may encounter this thread with interest in Titan forks, I'll supply a brief update. Several emails have been made with no resolution reached. Titan has offered $30 to have someone weld a "shim" to correct their obvious flaw. For reference, I live in SE Pa where $30 can barely get you a meal, let alone someone to weld anything. The response was underwhelming and not at all indicative of a company interested in customer support.

Given that I do not have the time nor the inclination to deal with this, my offer was simple - full refund or a new frame. The guy I talked with actually had to get approval for this. Needless to say, Titan will be removed from consideration for my future backhoe purchase.

Wow I'm glad you posted. I was under the impression Titan was a good company to deal with from my experience with them. What a hassle. Are they refund/returning for you?

 

[jodebg]

If you paid by credit card you can dispute the payment to Titan. Credit card companies are usually on your side
and work to have the seller make things right or Titan does not get paid a penny for your new forks.
If you call the CC company, they usually withdraw payment right away until you are happy.

For those using forks, how do you fasten a chain to the forks when you need to pull something like we
do with our bucket hooks, etc.?

 

[jrclark]

I'm not sure tman. The hope is that they send a new frame so I can be on my way. I'll demand a refund if there's even an attempt at another ludicrous negotiation. Someone has to know that $30 is a slap in the face, especially after reading that they offered someone in this thread $70. It's hard for me to understand how the assembly could leave their facility without a QC check on the quick attach and forks. It's impossible for me to understand how they would then turn around and ask that I use my own time to find someone willing to fix their mistake for $30.

What is the height of the quick attach plate from the top to the bottom and how big is the tractor side (the one that is marked 16.04" in this picture: http://www.rebarplastics.com/files/2026382/uploaded/QT Plate Dimensions.jpg )?

Well let's hope they do the right thing. I think at this point we are all assuming it is the forks that are made wrong. But I would make sure that the quick attach on your tractor is built properly and not the culprit. Stands to reason that if the forks can be made wrong so Can the quick attach plate and or bucket. Not as likely though but definitely worth a check.

 

[jodebg]

Titan told me, their products are made in Asia. QC?

Titan has been doing this for years. Business must be good, they used to offer $50. Their fit is sometimes sloppy. On forks where I don't back-pull I don't worry about a loose fit. Not excusing them, I don't know why they don't get their act together. Here is the gap on my forks on one side. The other is better.

Wow! If you closer than 3 hours away I'd weld it on for you.

Nice. You even made them "Quick Attach"

Artillians have factory chain slots cut into the frame. Just slide the link in.
