What do you do with your forks?

I was under the impression Titan forks were made in usa

Here's the recent communication from Titan:

EA will be my first call after this issue with Titan is fully resolved. EA certainly puts a lot of effort into hosting videos to showcase their products. It certainly appears that they make great strides to source and offer American made products. I may take the opportunity to go the grapple route, just have to see where the funds are in the next month few months. I'll likely end up just getting another set of forks. A grapple may be a great tractor "investment", but justifying one for me is difficult since we are building a house and the budget is tight.

Fwiw, Titan did agree through email to refund me in full for the forks and also pay shipping. It took a few more phone calls then it should have, but the result is what matters most. Their monetary offers were not acceptable, along with the offer to bring my frame back and "try different frames to see what works." This would take 2 weeks and was definitely not worth my time.

I have a set of SSQA forks that came with my tractor. I am not sure what brand they are, they appear to be Titan.
I use them for EVERYTHING. They are on the tractor 99% of the time in the summer, and only come off in the winter for snow removal.

I use them for:

-Moving my scrap steel/aluminum bins
-Moving engines around
-Moving rollaway toolboxes between my garages (my driveway is gravel)
-Unloading freight from semi trucks at my house

and my favorite....removing the hard top from my Blazer.

Ya they do, exactly like mine.

jrclark; I'm glad you got the issue resolved! .

In my experiance most companies will make it right but you have to be persistent. It might take a lot of time & effort to get satisfaction but if you keep after them they usually take care of it. They try to take the easy way out on the first try.

Does anyone have a set of Kubota quick couplers (model #B1767),
and also a set of Kubota pallet forks with frame for sale??

Looking for a set to fit my Kubota B7800.

Glad to hear. EA has a lot of nice videos and are very friendly to deal with. I called and talked to them a special order construction attachments extreme tooth bar. They ended up being a $ 120 is dollars more than i could get it through Rosy Brothers mainly due to freight cost. I thanked them for their time.

Their price on the FFC heavy box blade delivered was about $175 cheaper than the local construction equipment dealer before tax. I ended up with a gannon 88" HSD.

I'm almost certain that one of the owners of construction attachments is Ted's brother from EA. I have both a tooth bar and forged 5500 lb forks from CA both are very well made in the USA. Probably major overkill for you. I have no experience with EA products but have seen lots of good reviews. Good luck

I think the reason this problem has persisted for so long and Titan stays in business is that many of their customers weld and slapping a shim on is easy enough with the dollars they save. They are a very good value. I am glad they eventually stood behind their policy.

Wooden forks did the job today.
Not owning a set of forks, I had to fabricate a set out of wood.Today was the test run and they did great. Easily lifted
the mower with it positioned perpendicular to the bucket. Use one HD strap to secure them to the bucket, placed a scrap
piece on pressed board over the forks, slid the pallet on, View attachment 406646View attachment 406647View attachment 406648View attachment 406649View attachment 406650View attachment 406651View attachment 406652and off we went. Posted some photos below.

That is some great engineering!
