L225 Kubota Loader Quick Disconnect

[bidwars]

I have a 1976 L225 Kubota with a loader attached. Is there a way to replace the hydraulic hoses and add quick disconnect connectors so I can take off the loader when not using it? It needs many of the hydraulic hoses replaced anyways. Do you think the tractor pressure would support the connectors?

Thanks for the help

Yes to both questions.

But how difficult is it to remove the loader? Do you have a way to store the loader or does it have some built in legs that hold it in a position where it can be removed and re-installed?

Does the loader valve stay on the tractor or go off with the loader? That will determine where you want to install the disconnects. Your tractor probably doesn’t have much flow rate unless there is a separate pump which is not obvious in your picture.

You may want to get fittings and/or adapters to get hoses with JIC 37 degree female swivel ends that are easy to install.

A few hoses (5-6) will run into 2-3 hundred dollars depending on length.

You can not simply disconnect all the lines, you must keep a loop from the pump to the Power beyond/ tank open or you will dead head the pump.
This is done with either a loop of hose or male /female on the pump output and the PB input.
