LANDYINDUS Excavator Weld-On Hitch Bracket | John Deere & Kubota Bucket Attachment Conversion

LANDYINDUS Excavator Weld-On Hitch Bracket | John Deere & Kubota Bucket Attachment Conversion

The LANDYINDUS Excavator Weld-On Hitch Bracket is a precision-manufactured attachment conversion component designed to retrofit standard excavator buckets, grabs, and other front-end attachments with a compatible hitch interface — enabling existing attachments to be used with quick hitch coupler systems or to match the specific bracket geometry required by the host excavator's dipper arm configuration. Available in nine model configurations specifically engineered for John Deere and Kubota excavators, plus universal configurations for other machine brands, these weld-on hitch brackets provide the most cost-effective method of upgrading existing attachment inventory to quick hitch compatibility without replacing the attachment itself.

Convert Existing Pin-On Attachments to Quick Hitch Compatibility — No New Attachment Required

The primary application is the conversion of existing pin-on excavator buckets and attachments to quick hitch compatibility — allowing attachments originally purchased for direct pin-on use to be operated through a mechanical or hydraulic quick hitch coupler system, eliminating the need to purchase new quick hitch-compatible attachments and maximising the return on existing attachment investment. Secondary applications include replacement of worn or damaged original hitch brackets, and modification of non-standard or imported attachments to match the host excavator's dipper arm geometry.

Brand-Specific Dimensional Engineering — John Deere & Kubota KX Series

Each model is dimensionally engineered to match the specific dipper arm pin geometry and bracket spacing of its target machine brand and model class:

• E-JD17 — 55×262mm | 4kg | John Deere 17 class mini excavator
• E-JD35 — 108×346mm | 11kg | John Deere 35 class mini excavator
• E-JD60 — 102×413mm | 13kg | John Deere 60 class (6–8T)
• E-KX121 — 95×330mm | 11kg | Kubota KX121
• ME-KX057 — 108×433mm | 18kg | Kubota KX057
• ME-KX080 — 111×458mm | 27kg | Kubota KX080
• ME-KX040 — 113×330mm | 13kg | Kubota KX040
• ME-U17 — 122×247mm | 7kg | Universal 1–2.5T mini excavator
• ME-U25 — 87×216mm | 7kg | Universal 1–2.5T mini excavator

Precision Pin Bore & Bracket Face — Accurate Alignment After Welding

The precision-machined pin bore and bracket face geometry ensures accurate alignment with the dipper arm pins and quick hitch coupler interface after welding, without the need for post-weld machining or adjustment. The bracket material is selected for weldability with standard structural steel bucket bodies. Welding should be performed by a qualified structural welder using appropriate filler material and preheat procedures for the bucket steel specification to ensure full penetration and adequate heat-affected zone toughness at the weld joint.
