B7100 loader removal

[slgrafton]

Call me crazy, but I want to be able to take the loader off of my tractor sometimes. Especially when doing some yard work. So the only problem is that when the loader comes off, there is no good way to disconnect the hydralic lines. I was gonna take the 4 from the control valve and add Quick Connects to them.
Good Idea? Bad Idea?
Gonna leave the subframe and pump on

Good Idea, all the newer loaders have that setup.

That's the self contained loader like I have. I would have to look again at mine, but doesn't the valve come off with the loader? If so, the only real issue is the 2 lines to the pump, so putting quick connects near it would make it easy to disconnect leaving minimal stuff behind in the way. Haven't looked at what it takes to get the pump off the PTO, but that might be away to avoid the issue completely.

I put four 1/4" quick connects on my B8200 the same way you are thinking and it works great. Mine is an aftermarket loader set up the same way, just color code your connections so you get the lines back on in the same order
