Quick Hitch Screw-Type for Mini Excavators

Swapping a bucket or attachment on a mini excavator shouldn't tie up the machine. This screw-type quick hitch uses a simple mechanical lock: unscrew, swap, and retighten. It fits a 25 mm pin, a standard size on compact excavators in the Norteck and Kubota ranges.

Mounting and Compatibility of the Screw-Type Quick Hitch

This mechanical quick hitch mounts on mini excavators with a fixing center distance matching a 25 mm pin. Stated compatibility covers Norteck SX10+, SX16, SX17 models, along with Kubota KX36-2, KX36-3, KX41-2, and the JCB 801. Before ordering, check the pin diameter on your machine—that's the dimension that determines fitment.

The paint color may vary depending on the batch. This does not affect the geometry or the clamping of the part.

Tool Change Without Hydraulic Lines

On machines without a dedicated auxiliary circuit for hydraulic locking, the screw-type hitch remains a direct solution. Manual clamping holds the tool in place without stressing the pump. For setups already fitted with a hydraulic quick hitch, the Norteck Mini Excavator Quick Hitch may be an alternative.

Once the hitch is in place, switching from a 60 cm cleaning bucket to a narrower tool can be done without re-pinning the original pins. Make sure the bores align properly before each tightening.
