RTV K-Connect and Blower

this... On tractors, the alignment of the dogs can vary as you lift the blower

Isn't correct IF the drawings I've seen here years ago, from the install manuals are correct.
the dogclutch is on the blower side of the pivot point where the Ujoint is. Once engaged, the clutch can't move,physically impossible.
I spent a lot of time looking into this and concluded it's the actual $700 dogclutches of dubious quality. Every picture I've seen show a 3 tooth dog with maybe 50% overlap compared to a $100 Lovejoy that has 4 teeth and 100% overlap.You've got up to 20HP coming from the PTO, so you need proper parts.
That's what I'd like to see, the actual 'connection' between tractor and blower

Well I'm not taking my blower off until spring, but while we're on the subject of things Kubota and/or RAD can improve is why don't they put swivels on the 4 hydraulic lines for the chute and deflector? I realigned everything better than dealer did, but still when you rotate chute all those hydraulic lines have to twist because they are all solid fittings.

Can't seem to post videos, but here is a screen shot of what I was just doing. 20 inch deep and packed because it was blown there with my tractor when it was wet. I was worried about it being underpowered, but seems to do just fine.
