Have a bloke wanting to buy my old qh from the et65 to put on his 5t w/n .....the dipper width is the same and the pins are the same, but his pin spacings are 10cm closer, he just wants to use it for his self build etc and says it will do the job, I mean i could say knock yourself out and sell him it, but will he end up with something unusable.....only thing I have that is prob relatable is the awful whites hitch on the u17

 

[Left hooker]

All crushed at end of play today was a lot more than I thought there was there last time was only a day running but 2 this time but got plenty of nice 4 inch down now seeing as the normal place we go hasn't made any for a while due to other activities taking president

Wider spacings on your hitch will be fine- more breakout but less angles.

It’s when the spacings are tighter than originally on the hitch that you can ground out a tipping link and snap the nose off the dipper.

Not sure how much to hire yet needed it to do the job certainly a red rhino wouldn't have been up to it that's for sure
The guy who's skip it is gets the scrap as it's cheeper than loads of punctures down the line as there is hundreds of nails screws and bolts in it plus all the nasty rebar that could f**k up a 400 quid truck tyre quickly
