Tilt hitch for 1.8 mini

[OBL]

Where are you at OBL? My Powertilt should fit under your hitch (120mm centres?). You could borrow it and see if you like it.

That’s a kind offer! I’m Shropshire. I’m a builder mainly so the 19 is tucked up prob till new year now.

Do you have Rhinox buckets, and if so, how do you rate them. I ask because they’re on my doorstep.

They’re whites buckets came with it actually, Maybe it’s the miss match that’s caused the slop but surely both should be standard to the machine?
I do have a 6 inch rhinox bucket that I use for cables and it’s pretty heavy duty, weighs a bit. Could use it as a ripper! Looks better quality than my Whites but who knows what steel is in each...

I’d be look be looking for something like this PD View attachment 10621View attachment 10622View attachment 10623

they're a smart little unit ... but very limited on their tilt angle ... tidy design - American IIRC

Don't Helac do one to suit your size machine Chris ... https://www.helac.com/ ... IIRC they invented the rotary actuator
could try RSL ... https://www.rslengineering.co.uk/ ... know a couple of people with their tilt hitch system on small machines 'bout 1100 quid for your size IIRC

they also do a tilty similar to my VA-r ...

Ffs...it’s for a 1.8 mini not a 18 ton track

Any recommendations? I see there’s Hartford, Miller, BW, Geith And probably lots of others. And what about the quick hitch? My Volvo isn't piped, but has a nice manual hitch that is tightened with a half inch wrench. I do like the idea of being able to adjust for any wear. Is it worth piping it up for a hydraulic hitch?

All opinions welcome.

looking at the Helac application guide Chris, it doesn't quite go down to 1.8t ... 2t seems to be the smallest they do ..... dunno whether you'd get away with it on yours??

I’m not keen on that design Gra, they just look too cumbersome to me.

I've used a few of there buckets there a nice shape but the ditchers are really soft and bend easily there's been plenty had to have a straighten on the corner of the blade

You must be fairly local to me as I'm only 5mins from the rhinox factory

i’m still waiting for rhinox to ring me back about the massively overweight bucket they sent for my bobcat micro

Not fit for purpose ay? Rhinox buckets and that bucket in particular!

I've got a tilt bucket you can borrow. I'm in South Cheshire near market Drayton

H.O.S.M, so a bit further away than you I suspect. Thanks for the input, I’ll probably try Evans & Reid, but they advertise from 2t for their tilters, so I may be on the edge.
