Our patented "Snap-Lock" Quick-Couplers have a safety pin, which must be manually put in place to operate the attachment being coupled onto. We feel the safest way to control the possibility of mechanical failure and premature uncoupling of an attachment is by manually opening and locking each attachment. This verifies that the attachment is being properly coupled and locked down.

No. Unlike some manufacturers of Quick Couplers, we do not force you to purchase our buckets. Our Quick-Couplers are made to the OEM pin specifications, and will fit any attachment with these dimensions.

With some other couplers you would have to modify or exchange them, but not with our Quick-Couplers. When ordering an Ajusta-Buckets Quick-Coupler, just let us know of your situation and we will build it to accommodate this condition.

First off, you will save money on the time involved in changing an attachment. The changeover time usually takes less than one minute. Second, you can use the right attachment for the job at hand, and in some cases, pay for your Ajusta-Buckets Quick Coupler in one job. For example, just look at the amount of money you would save in stone or gravel, at the bottom of a ditch where you are laying pipe. By changing to a smaller bucket at the bottom of the ditch, you can save 2/3 of the cost of the stone. Depending on the size of the job, you can see the savings.

Yes. The Ajusta-Buckets Quick-Couplers are an extension of the OEM's configuration and can be used in the same manner as you would without having a coupler on your machine.

Yes. We recently designed a new style unit, which can handle up to three yards. It uses hydraulic cylinders for the operation of the buckets. This unit is offered in non-rotating, 270 deg rotation, and 360 deg rotation. It can also be fitted for tines to be used as a grapple.

Our digging clams have been built tough and long lasting. Many changes have been made over the last five years to improve the operation and maintenance of these units. We offer a fixed or dangle style of mounting; with non-rotating, 270 deg rotation, and 360 deg rotation of the clamshell buckets.

Compound attachments are not uncommon, but they are always specific to ones own needs. Sometimes a call to our offices to discus your specific requirements may be the best way to solve any questions. Call us toll free at 888-448-2486 for a quote.

Our products have gone through extensive engineering changes, modifications, and weight reduction. Most of our Swivels weigh about 50% less than they did 5 years ago. Our main power is generated by two opposing hydraulic cylinders in a " V " formation, located between the pin connection areas, as opposed to our old style Swivels, which hung them out past the back link.

It depends on the type of Ajusta-Buckets Swivel you purchase. We offer both a "Pin-On" style, which lets you manually pull the pins to change to another attachment, and one with our patented "Snap-Lock" Coupler style, which will let you change an attachment in less than one minute.

The maximum mount of angle you can expect from the Swivel is 45 % right or left of the center position. This is extremely helpful when opening or digging irrigation trenches. You can straddle the area to be trenched, or run down along the edge, and use the machine along with the Swivel to create compound angles to cut or clear the ditch.
