Recently purchased a 200CLC for general personal use (working in the woods, clearing land, digging gravel). it currently has a 42" bucket. I would like to add a hydraulic quick coupler as I plan to also get a stump ripper, rake and mop bucket down the road. most times I'm using this will be by myself and a quick coupler would make it much easier to switch buckets. the current bucket is a Deere AT196966 (says it fits JD180-225, weight 1687, cap 1.12 cu/yd, tooth TF290). I've been reading quite a bit and found the chart someone here posed listing bucket dimensions. I see all Deere excavators close to this size us 80mm pins and 12.09 width. but they all have different pin centers 160=15.39, 200=18.58, 225=18.74. would a JRB quick coupler for a 160CLC fit my machine and current bucket? I'm sure this is a easy question for most, I found the JRB for the 160 but don't want to spend any money and it not fit. thanks for all the help!
you just need to find out from JRB what the travel distance is on the rear pin hydraulic clasp. i had a 690e deere, 210 b case, and hyundai 210 lc7, all with the jrb coupler....and the pin spacing on all manufacturers i listed above was close enough we could use any bucket on any of the 3 machines.
Thanks dayexco, after looking closer at the Jrb coupler it doesn't appear to be very forgiving on the pin centers. I think I'll keep looking for something that is for the 200 series.
