Advice on this connection....

[orange crusher]

John - I've never even seen these connections in person; just many here complaining.

Sometimes there's things that are better done by hand, one at a time.....takes me 60 seconds, and only 10 bad words...

You are absolutely right. I am on my 2nd set of couplers. This set lasted 3 months. Dealer mumbled something about they have changed something in the bottom section again.

I am all for going to individual Pioneers. If anyone has pics of the conversion I would love to see the finished product. Kubota can take their quik-connect system and shove it..................

I'm gonna have to check, But figured I'd ask anyway...

Are the threads 1/2" NPT on the tractor/FEL lines?

I would need 4 connectors similar to these: ?

I believe the connection was updated over early ones ? bigger longer guide pin for alignment ?

not sure as I don't own that style.

Mine appear to be.

Mine are 1/4” threads.

Same size as the couplers on my snowplow.
3000 psi max.
They should work just fine

greg,
I just read that your tractor is new...... I would have THEM fix it.

my full warranty JUST expired....


all I have left now is the power train ..... until my financing is done... I think...

Yes just 32 hours so far. I talked to me dealer and they will be fixing it at the 50 hour service. With the loader off it's not leaking so I have been just disconnecting the hoses if not in use. Sort of a pain, but stops the mess on the garage floor.

I don’t know if you caught the other thread
But I eliminated the quick connector on my tractor and installed pioneer connectors.
It works fantastic and no leaks.

I did virtually the same thin. No leaks here as well.
