A key element for boosting efficiency and safety – a fully hydraulic quick hitch by HIMACORE. Designed for the rear dipper arm of JCB 3CX, 4CX, 5CX backhoe loaders and large mini excavators (8052-100C). It allows the operator to change attachments (like buckets, rippers, breakers) instantly and safely without leaving the cab. The quick hitch is brand new, complete (with hydraulic ram and valve), and ready for installation (does not include dipper mounting pins or hoses).

| Brand | Type / Series / Model |
|---|---|
| JCB | Backhoe Loaders: 3CX, 4CX, 5CX Mini Excavators: 8052, 8055, 8060, 8065, 8085, 65R, 67C, 85Z, 86C, 90Z, 100C |
The list above is for reference. You must verify your dipper arm dimensions: 45 mm pin diameter, 175 mm arm width, and 340 mm pin centers.
Never operate with a suspended attachment unless you are 100% certain the quick hitch mechanism is correctly locked. Always perform test curls and movements close to the ground after changing an attachment. An unexpectedly detached bucket can cause fatal injury. Release hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hoses.
A hydraulic quick hitch maximizes efficiency and safety by allowing attachment changes from the cab. Its failure mainly manifests as problems with securely holding buckets or hydraulic ram failure.

A hydraulic quick hitch (this model) allows you to change the bucket without leaving the cab, using a switch that controls a hydraulic ram. A mechanical quick hitch requires the operator to get out of the cab and manually release the lock with a key or bar.
2. Will this hitch fit my standard 3CX buckets?Yes. This quick hitch is compliant with the standard JCB 3CX/4CX mounting dimensions (45 mm pin diameter, 175 mm arm width, 340 mm pin centers). It will fit all buckets and attachments that have a hitch with these dimensions.
3. Is the installation complicated?The mechanical installation is identical to mounting a bucket (on two pins). However, it also requires connecting two hydraulic hoses to power the hitch's ram, which usually involves routing them along the dipper arm and tapping into a free auxiliary circuit (like the hammer circuit).
