I think its to do with a few years back while working on the A1 they had a few quickhitches stolen plus unless its a double locking hitch alot of sites wont except them.

Nah they dont have them supplied with them, I know the 4CX's have Hyd hitches now, same ones as we have on our 3CX's at work, There was an older 06 3CX on my last site laying down stone that had a man hitch! Its not a case of people not accepting them on site i dont think as we've never had problems with manuals before!

I thought machines were kept in a secure compound on big jobs like that I usually try and find a farm or somewhere safe to park I have a manual hitch on my 3cx I think a lot of operators are guilty of not putting the safety pin in I fancy getting a tilt rotator hitch I was working with a new js145w a couple of weeks ago that was some piece of kit

the pins that hold my manual hitch on have been cut right flush with the hitch and then had washers welded on to the ends
don't get hooked up when deep with a foot bucket in the road ,and good luck to someone who wants to nick it :)
every village has one , is yours missing you
