I was greasing manually a few weeks ago and the grease was cold, upper 30s if I had to guess. it was MUCH more difficult to operate the handle than usual.

It looks like we won’t be over freezing until at least Monday, old school winter this year, thank god for wood heat 👍🏼

I have a cheaper than most titan attachments one and the only issue I’ve had is the bottom flange will bend if I put too much down pressure on it. When it happens I have to bend it back or moving the forks side to side becomes a chore. In the products defense it is meant for lifting not down...
