@Hg2702 you prick the pins don't match 
ah sorry just seen you meant the bucket itself. The actual tilt hitch takes a 30mm in one and a 28mm in the other! No idea what that’s all about!
did I not supply you with the special 28mm pin?

Cut that crappy semi Q/H off. BMC will supply you with a screw type hitch plate that you can weld on. A massive improvement, keeping the pins tight. Speak to Robert Welsh, he's a true gent and couldn't be more helpful. The backing plate it comes with is pretty damn close, it's an easy fit. Then you can use that new impact wrench to tighten it.@Hg2702 you prick the pins don't match
Around £300 from memory, it's great. You have to adapt or remove the safety pin that locks the screw as it's in the way of the Helac unit, but I'm sure that won't bother a man of your

No, no to s**t screw type hitches. If I was over worried about tightness I'd be going hydraulic but I'm not.

My wedge lock on my 3 tonner seems to work undone after an hour or two. Not enough to let go of the bucket but certainly enough to give it enough slop to put it on par with a spring hitch.

To be fair I always used a big hammer to drive the pin in and half a tube of grease

No they are s**t, slow, irritating and pointless.
If I want to spend a week of my life changing buckets I'll just carry a hammer and drift, infact I can do it quicker than it takes for a bloody wudge lock. otherwise spring hitch or fully hydraulic. Semi Q/H will do the job plenty well enough.

I quote like semi hitches but there such a pain with all the buckets having to be spot on for them but there quick to change if you keep the back pin greased you can have it out as fast as the safety pin on a spring hitch

So it transpires Takeuchi Have done something odd it would seem.
The 216 and 015 have identical pin spacings.... 016 is wider..... sod knows why.
