Introduction
Quickhitches are used on machines to allow the rapid
change of buckets and attachments on the machine.
Quickhitches do not normally have a specific function
themselves in that they do not carry out handling or
digging operations, but when installed on a machine
they become a part of the overall machine system.
They are usually mounted on the machine by means
of pins that would otherwise be the mountings for the
bucket or attachment.
