Just used my new QC-Mate XBoom Coupler. It is worth every dollar. Easy peasy for me to use. I swapped the bucket for the grapple, hooked up the hydraulic lines in about 3 minutes. I’m a 64 year old woman, and I don’t have the strength in my hands to hook up the hydraulic lines. But this coupler makes it so easy. it was $85.00.

Pioneer 4200 series couplers are one-handed push/pull couplers…. you might find them easier to use once you’ve been shown how they work. (Of course, all couplers can be difficult if under pressure.

I recall the your thread where you were considering buying a QC Mate. Thanks for the follow up. Glad it’s working well for you!
