Just a quickie. I know a few of you run 71s. Does anyone know of the top of their head what the dipper width is, cheek to cheek on the bucket? I know they're on 35mm pins but wondering if I can swap the hitch from my takeuchi Tb125.
Cheeeeeerrsssss

Yea 125mm I have.

What are you hoping to do exactly?
Was hoping to fit my quickhitch from my tb125 to a 71 so that it will fit all my current buckets and attachments.

I'll have a look at the hitch tomorrow. It'd need 6 mm shaved off each side so not sure how much boss would be left🤣 the Kubotas pins are closer by 45mm or so. Whether that would muck up geometry of the hitch I don't know, bucket wouldnt crowd quite as much etc...
