Do these numbers look about right?

Just bought a Doosan solar 55v plus

The two buckets it came with are different.

One fits ok the other fits but is def the wrong size with 45mm pins & far to big a center gap.

It has a quick hitch (manual)
Measuring it it looks like the good fit is 50mm pins, 160-165mm dipper & 250mm centers.

Does that look about right?

What other makes would use the same sizes?

Daewoo 55 solar "should be" 45mm pins 155mm wide and 260mm centres.

The bad bucket has 45mm pins but they look far to small in the QH.

The better fitting one has 50mm & they look right in the QH.

Could the QH be adapting the 45mm to 50mm?

I think I actually measure 155mm but allowed a bit for clearance.

I will measure outside to outside & take off 1 pin diameter to check.

Thanks for your help.

5/6 tonners usually use 8 ton buckets which are either 50mm pins or 3cx pick up (45mm pins). Sounds like you need buckets with 50mm pins to suit hitch but have a mixed set.

You could have a mix match hitch, or just one with a bit of wear

Ok so it could be 45mm but has worn to 50mm.

Or they just chucked a 45mm bucket in as it fitted even if badly.
Not due to the 45mm pins but the longer center distance.
