s30 150 or 180?

[liquidmonkey]

Just double checking b4 I buy a new attachment.
My JCB 8018 has a quick release unit (roto tilt) and it fits s30 scoops etc.
When looking at new stuff they come in as s30 150 or s30 180.
I've measured the width (see photo) of the quick attach bars on my current scoop and they are 150mm wide (inside). So I assume my machine uses only s30 150 attachments.
Is that correct?

Many thanks and apologies if my terminology is way off.

Yes it looks like you have S30 150

thanks everyone.
Just curious, can i use a s30-180 on my s30-150 rototilt?
i'm guessing the 180 is just wider, would that make a big deal?
or is there a 180 to 150 adapter?

seems to be lots more 180 stuff for sale vs 150 stuff seems hard to find, especially used.

No, the pin centres are also different, 200mm vs 230mm

What do you need? We can build it on S30 150

S30-150 is more suited to a 2t size machine and buckets. Tiltrotators are rare on those size machines. 2.7t machines are a lot more common and they generally use S30-180, sometimes even S40.

Personally I use S30-180 and share it between a 2.7t and a 2t. The smaller buckets do look a bit odd but they work brilliantly.

I hear @CPS makes a nice S type bucket. He certainly makes a very good S type hitch. One day I'll have him treat my micro to a set of small S30 buckets and a manual hitch- it would really improve the geometry.

Thanks for the offer to build something but I'm in Sweden and can order locally if needed.
