Buying a new jcb, went to see it today and they all come on flat face but dealer changes them on pdi most of them time for the usual agri ones (whatever they are called)



Would you keep flat Face or not? Dealer has stacks and stacks of spare flat face fittings from doing pdi's so will give me enough to swap attachments.



Look better for not collecting dirt however I always run with male/male on jcb for this reason and female/female on attachments

2 female on 320 here
Males on every attachement
I'd rather them than the standard but they aren't infallible

Flat face male and female on jcb. Swap attachments dozens of times a day.
No issue with pressure and quick wipe to clean off.
If dealer has a box of spares I’d happily give them a home.
