I need some forks for my kubota tractor and I'm wondering if anybody has used the clamp on forks from Titan? Anybody have these and recommend them?

Depends on what you'll be doing with them. I bought the clamp ons and for general basic use they work great. The issue I had the most was when moving brush to a burn pile, no matter how tight I clamped them down one would always fall off (usually right in the middle of the burn pile). Same thing if I had the bucket too low when backing up but that was my fault.
I have the SSQA on my BX so I ended up buying a SSQA fork set from Palletforks.com (same place I believe) so even though they're a bit more money, I'll increase lifting capacity and they won't fall off.
I'll recommend the clamp ons but just be aware they don't always stay put. PS, I didn't use the spreader bar so that may have been part of my issue.

I bought the Titan ones with the bar on Amazon for under $150 and I have no complaints.

I have heard that clamp on forks can shift around, but have no personal experience with them.
I have an ancient set of GC brand forks that attach with a chain that wraps around the back of the bucket, and that is tensioned with a pair of small ratchet load binders. These forks do not move at all. In fact, the P.O. had bent the top of the bucket down by getting over zealous with the load binders. After straightening it, I added a 2"x2"x1/4" angle to stiffen the top edge.
