- Quick couplerAsk us for this end
Which coupler is on your machine?
Pick the system on your machine and we put it in your enquiry. We check the bracket before we send the quote.
How to measure your coupler
Not sure which system it is? Three measurements tell us which bracket you need.
- Measure the diameter of both pins.
- Measure the distance between the pin centres.
- Measure the width between the inside faces of the ears.
If the coupler has a make or type printed on it, send that too.
Before you order: check the interface
The weight class of the JCB 3CX Compact sizes the attachment. It does not tell you the pin diameter, the pin spacing or the stick width, and those decide whether an attachment fits. Measure them on the machine, or send us the measurements of the bucket it runs today.
A backhoe loader digs at the rear and loads at the front, so the rear bucket is chosen for trenching and the loader bucket for moving material. The rear quick coupler, where the machine has one, sets the bracket every rear attachment needs; the pin and stick checks below still decide the fit.
Quick coupler brackets at this weight
In our model tables, the attachments listed for the JCB 3CX Compact at its weight are built with these brackets. Each code opens the models that list it.
- Measure the diameter of both bucket pins.
- Measure the distance between the pin centres.
- Measure the inside width between the stick ears.
- If the machine runs a quick coupler, note its make and type.

What the 3CX Compact figures mean for its attachments
- Its auxiliary circuit delivers 120 l/min. A breaker, auger, tilt rotator or other hydraulic tool states the oil flow it needs, so choose one whose range includes this figure.
- The main pump delivers up to 100 l/min at 230 bar. That is the pump output of the whole machine, not the flow an attachment gets.
- Its maximum reach is 5,220 mm.
- It dumps at up to 3,720 mm, so a truck or skip side has to sit below that height.
- JCB lists buckets from 230 to 750 mm wide for this machine.Our sizes in that range: GP - general purpose digging bucket (GP-95); GPL - general purpose digging bucket (GPL-75); BDP mini - clay digging bucket for mini-excavator (BDP-90); PDP mini - skeleton BDP stone bucket (PDP-75)
- JCB lists bucket capacities from 0.028 to 0.11 m³.
- For transport it measures 5,540 x 2,000 x 2,740 mm (length, width, height).
