Coupler dedicated to machines with 35mm system. Does not fit smaller machines (like 8018 - 25mm pin) nor larger ones (like 3CX - 45mm pin).
To mount the quick hitch on the machine arm, you need two pins (usually those that were with the bucket are used). To attach buckets to the quick coupler, a locking bolt key is needed (often included or a standard socket wrench).
Always after attaching the bucket, make sure that the locking bolt is tightened and the safety pin is in place. Working with an unsecured quick hitch risks the bucket detaching, which can lead to a serious accident.
The quick hitch interfaces between the arm and the working attachment.

No. The 8018 model (up to 2 tons) has smaller dimensions: 25 mm pins and approx. 90-100 mm spacing. This coupler (980/88451) is designed for larger machines of the 8025/8030 series (2.5-3.5 tons).
No, this is a mechanical (semi-automatic) coupler. Locking and unlocking is done manually using a key/knob, not from the cab.
JCB 1CX is the world's smallest backhoe loader. It is built on the basis of a skid steer loader, thanks to which it can turn on the spot (around its own axis), making it extremely maneuverable in tight spaces.
