A coupling between a tool attachment adapted to be supported on a carrier and a tool mount fitting the tool attachment and adapted to support a tool, the tool mount carrying a fixed latch member and the tool attachment carrying a movable latch member which, when the tool attachment and the tool mount are in engagement, is movable into and out of locking engagement with the fixed latch member; a device for moving the latch member between locking and unlocking positions to thereby couple and decouple, respectively, the tool attachment and the tool mount; a hydraulic control circuit for supplying power to a tool supported on the tool mount, the circuit including a pair of two-part hose couplings, one part of each coupling being stationary on the tool mount and the other part carried on and movable relative to the tool attachment; and a device for moving the movable hose coupling parts relative to the tool attachment, in response to locking and unlocking movement of the movable latch member, in a manner such that during a coupling operation the hose coupling parts of each pair become engaged only after the movable latch member has arrived at a locking position and such that during a decoupling operation the coupling parts of each pair become disengaged before the movable locking member moves out of its locking position.
