I have had them for a while now without any issues. But dealing with Titan they can kiss my hairy ***** before I will buy from the again.
I have a set and while it would be nice to be able to widen the forks, I didn't want to spend the extra few hundred for it. The only suggestion that I have is that you use 1/4 inch bolts and lock nuts rather than the lynch pins they provide to hold the fork pins in place.
They are too close together for stacking 30 foot long trees but the tines are easily removed and I may weld brackets into my bucket which I can attach the tines to.

30' long trees? How many could you stack on a set of forks? I assumed the weight would be an issue. I plan to make a extension platform that the forks will slide into so I can carry limbs and 8' fence posts. I'll get my $249 out of them. No problem.

I like having the versatility of being able to set the width of the forks but it comes with a price. If you find that not being adjustable is an issue I'm sure you could make some changes with a welder like add a second set of receivers for the forks. It amazes me how many people buy a set of forks rated at twice what their loader can lift. The extra lifting capacity comes with added weight. Once you figure out what your lifting capacity is at about 18" in front of your pins I don't think you'll want to loose an extra 100lbs. At 2600 lbs that's more than enough for your Kubota. I think you'll be happy.

I have always thought Titan has been very good to deal with. Good products at fair prices, fast free shipping, cooperative customer service. Obviously you had a different experience. Probably just an honest misunderstanding. It happens.

FEDEX just showed up with my new pallet forks. Ordered them on Thanksgiving evening and they arrived today.
Now that I have seen the quality I have no doubt that this is a great deal if you can live with fixed forks.

Post back after you use them. I always try and make the things I need. I like my forks so much I made a set for my L4240 1st, then the B7800. Made a frame for the BX2660 and looked for a year for some used ones. Wanted 32 or 36" for the BX but missed out on a set. Ran across 2 sets of 42" X 4" for $150.00 couldn't pass up. Had 5" on the big tractor took them off put the 4" on, the 5" were hard for me to slide. Here are pictures of the BX.

These forks are actually rated for more weight than my loader.
Lift to full height (at pin): 2,374 lbs [1076 kg]
Lift to full height (at 500mm): 1,764 lbs [800 kg]

What did they do to you?
I bought the forks that attach to your bucket from them and they worked well. Used them on my B7510 I gave them to the guy that bought that tractor. I know have the real forks skid steer attachment type.
The only thing I hated about titan is after buying that one thing for $100 they sent me a million spam emails. I just emailed them back and told them to remove my account completely if you are going to spam me to death and they did.
The emails were crazy from them several a day. I hate you buy one thing from someone and they want to take over your life.
