Is it an illusion but it appears that your tractor plate bent and not the titan quick attach

I'm sorry. I meant the quick attach it's self. The plate is on the attachment. It held up fine.

Got it - the CT120 did not come with a quick attach - you got it from Titan :thumbsup: - Duh on my part:licking:

The titan quick attach is well built, the problem is that you are doing something it is not designed to do. That is putting stress and pulling it away from the pin when you dig out stumps. If that was a stock quick attach is probably would have broken, not just bend like the Titan did. Your attachment is the problem. You should have built a stump shovel. The SSQA design has one flaw and you found it. It is not designed to be pulled away from the bottom plates, that is what you are doing. If you used it normally with a bucket, forks or anything else there would not be this problem. Subsoilers are designed to be pulled by a three point hitch. Not front end loader. You better be careful you might bend your bucket cylinders if you are not careful.

I've been thinking about this for some time and you make good points. I was able to straighten the SSQA I'll put som bracing on it to keep it from bending like that again also I'll take down the second video it's not fair to you.

What Btown said.
Back dragging with that sub soiler puts way much pressure on those pins and you will continue to have problems with that setup.

Impressively mature of you. Unfortunately a rare thing.
