Hose connection

[Jy durocher]

I have an l3901 with backhoe.
When the tractor is warm and i try to reconnect the backhoe the hose going to the tractor doesn"t clip (connect ) in place. I have to wait until the next day for the tractor to cool off and I guess, the pressure to come down in the hose.
I do get the pressure down by moving the loader control (as recommended in kubota manual), it makes no difference. What should i do for the hose to reconnect easily as it should? Thx

Does your tractor have a hose that you disconnect, then attach that hose to the hoe and a hose from the hoe to the fitting the first hose came off? If so, I think your problem is residual pressure in the hoe, not the tractor. Does the backhoe also sit out in the sun?

Before you disconnect the hoses,
Shut off your engine.
Move all of the backhoe controls, including stabilizer controls, until there is no more movement in your backhoe.
This relieves the hydraulic pressure in the backhoe.
Unhook backhoe hoses and reconnect to the tractor.

Being stored in the sun doesn’t help either.

The Backhoe is in the shade in the barn.
After a night 'rest' to cool off the tractor, i was able to connect the hose this AM. But I lost my Sunday work. I thought it was residual pressure in the tractor but it could be the backhoe?
The hose causing problem is alwaws the one hooking to the tractor.
Thx for your help.

I assume you are shutting the tractor off before trying to connect the backhoe.

With tje backhoe disconnected, tractor stopped, and the two hoses on the tractor side looped together the circuit goes to tank via the 3pt valve. If the 3pt lever is full down there can not be any residual pressure on either side of those couplers.
