When selecting a quick hitch / quick coupler for your mini excavator it is vital to make sure that it properly fits your machine. Read "Why Buy A Quick Hitch For A Mini Excavator?" blog article to learn more about quick hitches and their benefits. 

Mini Excavator Measurements 

There are 6 main measurements to keep in mind to ensure a proper fit for the mini excavator quick hitch: 

1. Mini excavator arm width should equal length "1" from diagram above 
2. Mini excavator bucket mounting pins, should have same diameter as diameter "2" on the diagram above
3. Distance between mounting pins on the OEM mini excavator bucket should equal distance "3" on the diagram above. Measurements should be taken between the centers of the pins
4. Most likely distance "1" and "4" will be the same, but that is not always the case. Sometimes a mini excavator quick hitch / quick coupler can be made as an adapter to allow the mounting of smaller attachments on a larger excavator. 
5. Similarly to "1" and "4" from the diagram above, distance "2" and "5" from the diagram above should be the same, but it never hurts to double check. 
6. Distance "6" from the diagram above can vary depending on the design of the mini excavator quick hitch / quick coupler. If you are looking for a dedicated quick coupler, then distance "6" must be the same as distance "3" on the diagram above. If you are looking for a multi pin mini excavator quick coupler, then distance "6" will actually be a range and the quick hitch will be able to accept mini excavator attachments with different distances between pins as long as they fall within that range.
