Thought I may as well start my own thread, rather than spamming a load of other threads and if anything gives doobin one thread to laugh at in between his bobcat leaking
Mostly operated plant hire and groundworks.
Kit wise doosan dx10z micro digger, cormidi and jcb tracked skip loaders, and the recent addition of a jcb 8026

@GazCro took a few pics of the hitch this morning, if you or any one else has any suggestions/opinions would like to hear them.

The pipes in side the hitch loop around the hitch

The block on the dipper, both sets of pipes coming out of the top, and a loop back to the hitch?

 

[GazCro]

Mines near on the same as Craigs above but I'll take some pics to put up as well anyhow. Issue you have @Brendan is the fact they are trying to get an 'S' bend in the hoses. Only one bend you can get them to go where you want but going back on themselves again they'll just wanna go anywhere.

I know you said it was warm in the cab but it looks like smoke damage

Anyone know where to get these from, preferably with a single mounting hole

If you're jcb dealer fitted the hitch they should be sorting it out, it's kinda sad you're even having to basically ask on here how it needs to be done.

Worse than sad TBH ..... they should be ashamed of that job .... should never have been considered acceptable

 

[GazCro]

Did you get jcb dealer to buy and fit hitch or did you supply them with the hitch for them to fit it @Brendan

All supplied through them, they haven't said they won't sort it so looking for opinions from people who may have fitted one before.
They haven't fitted one of them before and I assumed as they had fitted other hydraulic hitches at some point that it should be straight forward and the conversation I had with Neil, I don't think he fits the hydraulic ones either on smaller machines.
Unfortunately it's a learning curve but ideally looking for a better way for the pipes to be as can't see the tight S in the pipes when curled out surviving long

There are way's to route them, the turn back blocks are good, but you can route them to the back also

They installed the block on the side of my dipper when installing my Engcon quickhitch on the Bobcat. Haven’t had any issues with it (touch wood!).

Blocks on the side on my 219 as well, i think on smaller machines there maybe isn't clearance between dipper arm and ram when fully extended or retracted to get a block in between.

What digger is that?
On my s30 hitch they have buried the fittings inside the hitch rather than two connectors on the top of the hitch like yours

It’s a Bobcat E27, but the hitch is S40.

Yeah, my little mule!
I stuck a 200tdi in it and a high ratio transfer box - it goes like f**k now!
