Why so much titan attachments hate?

[5030]

When it comes to ANY attachment or implement, I ALWAYS buy locally, never online or shipped. That way if there is an issue, I have immediate recourse,

I posted in this thread back in 2016..Still have my grapple and its used frequently...Matter fact I just used it for a couple hours today. Still working fine and I'm still happy with the purchase.

I bought a quick attach plate from titan, it was a waste of time and money. It showed up twisted so bad that you couldn`t no way use it.
Their quality is pretty shiddy and sloppy. Their welders don`t know how to weld either. That`s what you get with chyneezium garbage.

I have a few Titan implements - they are good for homeowners who want a cheap price... and don't use their stuff too hard or long.
I think it's akin to buying tools at HF. I've had some good and bad luck there.

I bought a set of quick attach forks from them. Got the 5' forks.
Work out great and I can see the end of the forks from my cab.

Be careful putting any kind of load out on the end. The FEL max load rating is from the end of the loader arms. So ft out would be a much different story.

I bought their extreme duty backhoe bucket thumb.
Got it from a different seller for $300 instead of off their site at over $400

Stickers were still on it though, including part and stock number


The Thumb is 36 inches long and matches the 24 inch wide bucket teeth perfectly.

Thumb assembly weighs over 130 lbs.

If anything wish i had bought the next lighter duty version.


No complaints at all.

Did someone say there were two companies with that name
and the good one changed its name??? The company named
Titan was the one with the cheap products????
You can purchase Wood's products from any place and not have
to purchase locally because Wood's produces quality products!!!

First - I've never owned a Titan implement. I have owned a couple cheap implements. What really ticked me off - my time wasted trying to make these cheesy implement do an acceptable job.

I only buy local and well recognized brands. Even being retired - the time I have to do many tasks is limited buy the season. IE - don't get any necessary driveway work done in the spring. Even with HD implements - I might be waiting until next spring.

Most definitely.
With the 5' forks I can just see about the last 10" of them to line up with a pallet or whatever. I wish I could have gotten 6' forks. I have seen them as fork extensions all the way up to 10'.
A 4' fork and I would never see the ends from the cab on my LS 573.

Bought two items from them. A SSQA to 3 PH adapter for the FEL three years ago, and, in the last two weeks, a 3PH set of 42" pallet forks. Both seem to be decent for the money.

I have pallet forks (2 sets), an 8-foot snow pusher, a rock bucket w/grapple, 3-point to QA adapter, QA to 3-point adapter, (2) 3-point trailer puller setups, a thumb for the backhoe, a conversion kit to get QA on a loader that had a pinned bucket, and probably a few more things.

Quite happy with all those things, and thankful that they were bought before prices went nuts and their inventory down.

Why so much titan attachments avoidance?

I don't have/need a whole lot of tractor implements. Back blade, LPGS, ROBB, disk, single bottom moldboard plow, grapple and Wally chipper. But - over time - I've found that buying well made, heavy duty implements will save time, frustration and eventually, money.

Seems like - what I plan on doing - is a whole lot more demanding on tractors and implements than realized, at first.

Light weight implements tend to crumple - frustration grows - time and money are wasted.

That's the major reason I went from my Ford 1700 to currently - Kubota M6040. All smaller projects were completed. Time to move on to the bigger/more demanding projects.

bought pallet forks from them; One the bolts was cross threaded; Not only cross threaded but ran home that way so I had to completely re-tap it in order to make it work.

Even a lot of the stuff that is ***Made in the USA*** isn't really as what it takes to say that is is vague enough that you can find loopholes you can drive a truck through; There's a reason so much of the hardware across brands is so similar

Was the one with the name titan sold all the cheap chinese
products for the bad name and the one company that changed
their name sold the quality products????

What forks did you get?
I bought their heaviest set and there are no bolts. Everything is welded.
