Why so much titan attachments hate?

[Xfaxman]

I have a Tomahawk grapple, I think it's the same as the Titan. It's a decent piece for the money and I would buy it over again.

There is no connection between Titan and Tomahawk:http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...teer-attachments-post3911665.html#post3911665

I bought a Titan ballast box several months ago. The fit and finish was really bad. Brackets welded on crooked, lower 3pt tabs in the wrong place; powder coating thin to non-existent, in many places you could see the base metal. I re-worked the box, grinding the tab welds off and re-locating and welding them back on. Straightened the top link bracket, which was welded on crooked. I prepped and painted the entire box, and so now, it's ok. But that was a lot of work. In hindsight, I probably would either build my own BB, or buy a better one.

That said, I turned right around and bought the Titan 42" pallet forks, and am very pleased with them, No issues at all. So I guess you never know what you're going to get, until you get it.

I am ordering a grapple fork tomorrow from a manufacturer here in NC. They have to build it since it is not in stock. How good the quality is I will find out but at least I know it is made locally. I've heard of issues with Titan implements and others. Those things will happen from time to time. Fixing the issue and taking care of the customer is the most important issue. Looks like Titan is doing OK in that area.

I just recently purchased a set of their clamp on pallet forks...no complaints here.

The clamp on forks and 3 point receiver hitch adaptor have been good value here also.

Pros
They sell tough equipment
Excellent prices
Rebate a few bucks to compensate t weld on shims for misfit SSQA

Cons
Can be sloppy on the SSQA
Grapples are on the heavy side
Can be slow to respond to complaints, but eventually do

2 pair of clamp on forks, clamp on receiver hitch both fine. Typical HF quality.

Seems like another middleman between me and China, which I'm ok with.

We bought the 42" pallet forks with hay spear. Have been totally satisfied.

Bought the 42 inch pallet forks two years ago. Since day one, it has had an issue with coming detached. This is caused by one of the lower locking pins being too short, and coming out of the bracket. It happened again last week when I was bringing up a very ripe porta potty from the vineyard. Not a pleasant experience. That being said, I knew I was taking a risk with the quality when I bought it, it was $275 cheaper than the ones here locally, so no complaints, but I would't buy another one if this one disappears.

Depending on the forum you go to there seems to be a some difference in opinions with them. I started to buy from them but decided to wait and read up some more first. I guess it depends on what you buy from them too..I don't know?? I bought from Ken's Bolts on Hooks and BXpanded with great results and haven't seem much if any poster saying anything bad about either of those. So it does make you wonder about titan a little.

I purchased a 72" grapple and 48" forklift attachment at the same time. The combination costs were less than most grapple only from other distibutors. I am impressed with the quality, the price and their support and as a bonus "FREE" shipping. I did have a problem with a leaking hydrulic fitting on the grapple and they sent me a new hose assembly without hesitation. I will order from them again if they manufacture something I want/need.http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
