Ordered a 3/8” full back ssqa plate late Monday, end of Titan Attachments Memorial Day sale for a project. Got here 10am Wednesday morning. Shipping weight 108#. $119. Box had just a few tears and the plate was plastic wrapped. No damage. Corners were welded. Nicely made.

Took time grind a bevel and round the sides bars to help alignment when hooking up to the tractor. Wish a manufacturer would make flare sides plates for tractors and operators that visually challenged. Broke the sharp edges and points around the perimeter.

Nicely made. Quick to ship. Good price. All good. Had bought several locally and the last one was $$$ expensive. First one I had shipped.

That's a good idea to flare the ends for funneling in the loader width to seat it. Probably wouldn't take a larger blank of sheet metal either, just different shaped corner notches before folding it up.

How is the fit with your loader?

If your top photo is the lower left corner from the operator facing forward as it's mounted on the attachment, that 90 degree corner between the main surface and the lower flap is odd. On all of mine, the lower flap is tilted down either 45 or 60 degrees- forget which. Titan pic you linked to looks to be 90 too.

Granted the pictures look odd. The bottom is angled just as the other ssqa equipment. Attached to B26 just fine and carried to the tractor shed.

The B26 front bucket and backhoe buckets all have wonderful flares to guide the tractor in. Had to make some for the M59 grapple.

The top bar was a separate piece of 3/8” flat bar welded in to form the top pocket. It could have been a little wider and thicker to complement the heavy plate capacity. They offered the same plate in different plate thicknesses including 1/2”.

Overall a surprisingly well made, shipped extremely fast and a good price.
