Every unit is manufactured to your machine's tonnage, hitch and pin centres, so it bolts up to Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Kobelco, Volvo, CASE, Kubota, Yanmar and Takeuchi alike. Send us the make, model and pin sizes and we match the bracket before it ships - if your machine isn't on this list, it still fits.

Rock Breaker & Mud Sieve Buckets

After receiving our first order which had a rock breaker and some mud sieve buckets we knew we'd come back for more, just placed the 3rd order, great service and advice from the sales team, the quality and finish of the attachments are better than I can get locally and a better price.

Mechanical Grab

We bought a mechanical grab for 20T excavator. Good communication during the whole process via email or phone. Good quality product which we haven't had a problem with at all. They also offered to help install when we picked up but was not required. All departments from order to pickup were very helpful.

Rock Bucket with Ripper Tooth

Great rock bucket. Very effective for separating large rocks out of fill material. The ripper tooth is solid and well fabricated. I am very satisfied with my purchase after several weeks of use.

Ripper & Rake

Recently bought a ripper and a rake for a 8ton digger, both great quality attachments. The guys at Aussie buckets are very easy to deal with, straight forward for ordering and purchasing. The rake is great for any job in grass or vegetation, even when mixed with rocks or rubbish.

Hydraulic Grab

The hydraulic grab is better than any Christmas pressi. I use it on my farm dealing with trees and firewood. Also pipe laying. Try lifting 450 dia 12m long HDPE pipe and the grab fits perfect. OK the little Kubota knows it got a big fish on the hook but I can do what I can't do otherwise. Great choice - by me, great product thanks to you.

Hydraulic Grab & Auger

Great company to deal with. Excellent quality hydraulic grab attachment. The company was so nice to deal with I placed another order for a different attachment. Also kept me updated on my order from start to finish. Received my new auger and it is an amazing piece of kit coupled with a 350mm auger and I got the 1m extension also. Had a bit of time to test everything out and the grab is great for moving posts rocks and anything else to save my back. The auger has plenty of torque and because I'm in a bit of rocky ground I got the combination auger and it's busting through it quite well. Still very happy with my order and Aussie Buckets support and after sale check in just to see how everything is going.

I purchased a hydraulic grab for my 305CR, great communication from the team throughout the order and delivery process and the attachment went straight onto the machine effortlessly and is very well built!

We bought a hydraulic grab for our 5t excavator from Aussie Buckets and couldn't be happier. The square edged jaws help with gripping material while filtering out the dirt. So far, our customers have loved using it

Heavy Duty Stick Rake

I recently took delivery of the 1200mm wide heavy duty stick rake from Aussie Buckets. I was very impressed with the price I received and the staff kept me up to date during the procurement process. I love the design and the quality. I would very much recommend this product and I will look to source some more attachments through them in the future!

Frequently asked questions

What is a quick hitch on an excavator? A quick hitch is a coupler that sits between the excavator's dipper and the attachment, letting the operator change buckets and attachments from the cab instead of driving out pins by hand. It is also called a quick coupler or quick attach. Aussie Buckets quick hitches cover 0.8 to 80 tonne machines.
How do you use a quick hitch on an excavator? Position the hitch over the attachment's rear pin, tilt to engage the front pin, then release the hydraulic lock from the cab so the mechanical locks close. Always visually confirm the locks are engaged and crowd the attachment against the ground before working. Aussie Buckets hitches hold on three mechanical locks.
Are quick hitches safe? A quick hitch is safe when it locks mechanically rather than relying on hydraulic pressure alone. Every Aussie Buckets hydraulic quick hitch carries three mechanical safety locks that hold independently of line pressure, in line with Australian design standards, so a hose failure does not release the load.
What is the difference between a quick hitch and a quick coupler? Nothing. They are two names for the same attachment, and the terms are used interchangeably across the Australian market. You will also hear quick attach and hitch. All refer to the coupler between the dipper and the attachment that lets the operator change tools from the cab.
What quick hitch fits a 1.7 tonne excavator? The range starts at 0.8 tonne, so a 1.7 tonne machine is well covered. Every hitch is fabricated to your own pin diameter and centres rather than picked from a fixed range, so send your machine make, model, pin sizes and centres and we will confirm fitment before the build starts.
Does a quick hitch come with hoses and fittings? Yes. Every Aussie Buckets hydraulic quick hitch ships as a complete package with the hoses and fittings needed to plumb it in, so the hitch is not waiting on parts once it arrives. Every build is protected by a 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support.
How much does an excavator quick hitch cost? Aussie Buckets hydraulic quick hitches start at $2,475. Price moves with machine size and pin specification, and 0% finance is available on approved purchases. Get a tailored quote with your machine make, model and pin sizes and we will confirm fitment with it.
