What do you do with your forks?

[jodebg]

For those using forks, how do you fasten a chain to the forks when you need to pull something like we
do with our bucket hooks, etc.?

I'm not sure tman. The hope is that they send a new frame so I can be on my way. I'll demand a refund if there's even an attempt at another ludicrous negotiation. Someone has to know that $30 is a slap in the face, especially after reading that they offered someone in this thread $70. It's hard for me to understand how the assembly could leave their facility without a QC check on the quick attach and forks. It's impossible for me to understand how they would then turn around and ask that I use my own time to find someone willing to fix their mistake for $30.

What is the height of the quick attach plate from the top to the bottom and how big is the tractor side (the one that is marked 16.04" in this picture: http://www.rebarplastics.com/files/2026382/uploaded/QT Plate Dimensions.jpg )?

Well let's hope they do the right thing. I think at this point we are all assuming it is the forks that are made wrong. But I would make sure that the quick attach on your tractor is built properly and not the culprit. Stands to reason that if the forks can be made wrong so Can the quick attach plate and or bucket. Not as likely though but definitely worth a check.

Titan told me, their products are made in Asia. QC?

For those who may encounter this thread with interest in Titan forks, I'll supply a brief update. Several emails have been made with no resolution reached. Titan has offered $30 to have someone weld a "shim" to correct their obvious flaw. For reference, I live in SE Pa where $30 can barely get you a meal, let alone someone to weld anything. The response was underwhelming and not at all indicative of a company interested in customer support.

Given that I do not have the time nor the inclination to deal with this, my offer was simple - full refund or a new frame. The guy I talked with actually had to get approval for this. Needless to say, Titan will be removed from consideration from my future backhoe purchase.

Titan has been doing this for years. Business must be good, they used to offer $50. Their fit is sometimes sloppy. On forks where I don't back-pull I don't worry about a loose fit. Not excusing them, I don't know why they don't get their act together. Here is the gap on my forks on one side. The other is better.

Wow! If you closer than 3 hours away I'd weld it on for you.

Artillians have factory chain slots cut into the frame. Just slide the link in.
