Disconnecting FEL QuickCoupler

[Gene Blister]

LA435 QuickTach is coming off to install the K Connect snow blower. The hydraulic quickcoupler won’t come off. Pressure released, red button opened, lever up/forward as far as it will go....Im at the wail on it with a hammer stage, but will try intelligent inquiry to experienced, mature men first. Couldn’t hurt. Any insights or suggestions?

If you're removing your loader, be sure the loader bucket is on the ground, turn tractor off, then move the joystick in EVERY direction to release pressure. Connection should then not have pressure on them and disconnect.

Thanks all. Got them off. The walk away for a while process worked.

Got my K-connect yesterday for my snowblower, it's pretty slick. For poops and giggles I tried to get the FEL back on with the K-connect on there, seems it will fit but I cannot get the loader stand out of the way. I started a thread about this but it seems nobody knows if it will work. May keep trying.

My quick-coupler was acting a bit funky too so it seemed, it only locked in after I put it in float position. <shrug> maybe had some residual pressure I forgot about.
