Description
Overview:
This Manual Quick Hitch is a non-genuine replacement designed for JCB mini excavators to speed up attachment changes without complex hydraulics. Built from heavy-duty steel for long service life, it provides a secure, manually operated latch to connect and release common earthmoving and landscaping tools. It is suitable for machines in the JCB 800 series, with direct suitability for the JCB 8015 and 804 where a manual style hitch is required.
