Re: brothers tilt colum quality

Pickmup sells the Flaming River Tilts on the Parts board from time to time. That's what I have in Mine No Issues, GOOD column. And he is Great to deal with.
If you are talking about a Cheap Column maybe Made in China , then Quality might lack.

I suggest you find out from Brothers what brand their column is that they plan to sell you. Ididit, Flaming River, some Chinese no-name brand, whatever it is you probably need to know. Then people will have opinions on whether or not it's recommended. Here is an older thread where some opinions are discussed:

Re: brothers tilt colum quality

If it isn't made by Flaming River or Ididit... pass on it. The "no-name brand" columns are cheaper for a reason.

This is correct. I made the mistake of buying one of the cheap 300 dollar no name columns. Changed it out for an Ididit column within a month.

Use a van tilt. Oem GM quality easy to modify and cheaper than a new one made overseas.
