I’ve always had 30mm pins 105 dipper width and 130/132 centres , blame it on the 216

Everything is the 200 series fault.

Eagle Diesel..... No idea.... It was cheap and I think it's the perfect rally exhibit to sit alongside stationary engines with it powering a 12v dynamo and a lightbulb?

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 timed myself two days ago with your words ringing in my head. Three seconds to pick up the impact wrench and loosen the hitch, and that includes being gentle and letting off as you reach the end of the thread. I’d like to see anyone put a semi hitch pin in any quicker and with similar effort!

I love my tight buckets. I don’t expect us to agree on everything, but I’m so pleased you’ve seen the light and got a tilt hitch at last!

Kisses

Don’t talk to me about fking hitches

what're those RSL things like @Steve Trott ...... don't look too badly made

Solid

Interesting debate on hitches, i am not a fan of the screw type ones although using a electric torque wrench would certainly speed things up . I am now using semi hitches on all machines up to 3 ton, just as quick if not quicker than spring hitch once you get the angles right

Pin hitch, via a hammer.

It’s a good hitch, but crike me an 1/8th of a turn on the aux pedal limiter screws/ or change in revseemed to make all the difference between its snapping round or being cohesive to use.
Have you added something to calm it down or do you just fiddle with the screws until it’s just right.
I used to try and tilt at the same time as other operations and that worked to smooth it out a bit.

bang a restricted adaptor in the line ... that'll slow down the flow

I tried putting flow restrictors in the line. But didn’t really work as the pump was just straining trying to push the fluid though a restriction. I used to set the limiters on the pedal which would work ok with a bit of adjusting to get it right- but a bit of a fiddle really. Proportional thumb controls would have been lovely.

just back off on the pedal until it isn't
