Thanks for recording this video. I like that you showed the difficulties as well as the successes. I imagine that you're a pro at using the thing now that you've had it a few years!
I have a couple titan products. They should all come with a plasma cutter and mig welder! Almost there, just not quite. Once u slice and dice they usually work ok.
I had a stump bucket not fit like yours... I was able to bend it with force with the baseplate . Tilted it into the ground and drove forward bent the top enough for the pins to fit.
@17:42. No need to grind the end of the bolts after the nuts. Had you installed washers on the bolts, there would have been enough clearance without having to take out your grinder. Otherwise, great video.
I know that I am 5 years to late, but I would have just flipped the bolt around so the nut was on the other side or if that didn't work I would have marked it, take it off to avoid screwing up the nut from the heat. Oh well, my dad said one time to me "Its cheaper for a reason" that is not always true! Yet it seem to be the rule not the exception.
Great video. I just bought this fronthoe primarily because of your video. I have already used it for several things. What size thumb did you get? Mine didn't come with one and I think that would be very helpful. Have you had any issues with the eye hook pin that holds the big bucket pins in? Two of mine keep bending causing the pins to fall out. I haven't come up with a solution to that yet other than to bend them back and reattach them.
@4:58 the complaints about the upper lip are not uncommon with the imports. It is not uncommon to have to grind off excess material. @5:48 That is a non issue. The frame of the hoe does not require the SSQA plate to provide support there. @6:01 Just grind the slot a little larger for the pin to fit. That is a very common "adjustment" on import implements. The real question is "how well does it dig?" keeping in mind that it is not a dedicated back hoe and is not designed to remove 2 ton boulders...... For a plumber or contractor that does a little underground work, needs an occasional trench dug, it appears this is a great low cost option vs renting a machine that digs a 20" trench and requires a 16' x 26' work area or buying an mini excavator that is ten or twenty times the price.
By Simply Leaving the Subscribers numbers Alone and Showing it in the Description Would definitely help me decide whether I Sub or NOT & Seeing you decide to Obliterate that Area ,So will l Never ever Sub. At all.
