FAQ about this model
What size machines does this quick coupler fit?
It fits machines up to 18,000 lbs, including backhoe loaders and mini-excavators. Amulet builds the Mini-Hitch in 5 excavator weight classes, from 1-3 tons through 8-10 ton, across 6 configurations. Because mounting differs from machine to machine, check your make and model against the Amulet fitment chart before ordering so you get the correct class and configuration.
How is the coupler operated?
It is operated with a single supplied pin pull. This is a mechanical pin-puller coupler, so attachment changes are made manually at the machine rather than from the cab, and operation does not depend on machine hydraulics. The coupler body itself has no moving parts, so there is no linkage or cylinder to actuate.
What is included and how does it install?
A pin set is included, and installation is pin-on. The Mini-Hitch mounts using pins rather than requiring a hydraulic circuit, which is why Amulet describes installation as easy. Match the coupler to your machine's weight class and configuration before installing, since pin geometry differs across the 6 configurations offered.
What is it made of, and how much maintenance does it need?
It is fabricated from T-1 steel. The construction is fully fabricated and non-cast, and the design has no moving parts, which removes the wear items found on couplers built around linkages or cylinders. Routine attention is limited to the pin set and mounting pins. Amulet manufactures it in the USA and covers it with a 2 year warranty.
Why does the price vary from the $1,095 starting point?
Pricing starts at $1,095. The Mini-Hitch is offered in 5 excavator weight classes and 6 configurations, so what you pay depends on which version your machine takes. Larger classes and different mounting configurations are priced separately. Identify your class and configuration from the Amulet fitment chart to see the price for that specific unit.
Who is this coupler not a good fit for?
It is not suited to machines over 18,000 lbs, or to excavators not covered by the Amulet fitment chart. It is also the wrong choice if you need to swap attachments without leaving the cab, since changes require a manual pin pull at the machine. Operators making frequent changes through the day usually prefer a hydraulic coupler.
