Overview:
This manual quick hitch is a non-genuine, aftermarket coupler for JCB mini excavators, built to speed up attachment changes while keeping a secure connection.

It supports the common 25 mm pin setup (also referred to as 1 inch, 25.4 mm). A positive manual latch and safety pin help keep attachments secure during work. Supplied as a quality non-genuine option, it references MPN 996 465 for identification purposes.
