Does someone know if and where Hydraulic coupler oil collectors can be purchased without going thru Kubota parts? One can see these equipped on the Kubota M7 series tractors as well as other brands of tractors too.

If you are referring to port covers, TSC has them in Red and Black and New Holland has them in Blue.. JD has them in Green

The TSC ones have a collar that fit over the QD and a plug to go inside. The NH ones have a stay chain with a plug. I use them both (NH and TSC). They also have the male end covers that slip over the male end with a lanyard to keep them with the fitting.

Just about any good ag store will carry them.
You could also look on eBay or Amazon.

Guys,

I'm not asking about the covers. I'm referring to the rear remote connectors that have a tube running from them that collect the small amount of oil left when discounting the hydraulic lines to the implement.

Attached is an example from an M7 series Kubota tractor. I was wondering if there was a generic source for them...

I saw them on the larger Kubotas at an ag fair last year. I was not able to find any aftermarket oil collecting devices.

Never saw them before and candidly, don't see the need to have them. The little bit of hydraulic oil the seeps out of the coupler when I disconnect (and I do that a lot because every hay tool I use has hydraulic's on them with multiple lines) is inconsequential.

Whatever, however...:)

Here's a link. I've also seen another type but I can't find that link. A guy could make some if he wanted to but they wouldn't be like this type.

Bad link.

Besides, they are in Germany, hate to think what shipping would be.

I don't like the " inconsequential" oil dripping down and collecting dirt... but "whatever." :rolleyes:

Sounds to me like you need a sportscar, not a tractor. My M's get dirty all the time. Part of what I do. I just wash them off and no, don't wax them or tuck them in to sleep at night either.

Little hydraulic fluid running down the backside keeps thing lubricated anyway.

Let us know how the order from Germany goes. if it goes at all.:)

My dad has a deere 6310, and it has an oil drip catcher. It attaches to the couplers and drains into a bottle. Had to remove one of them, they are not compatible with adapters.

Contrary to what you think Flip, most brands of tractors have had a variation of these collection systems since the 1980’s. Some use a rubber boot over the coupler that has a little trough with a hose that goes down below the axle and drops the oil on the ground. Newer versions the hose runs into a collection bottle that can be removed to empty once in a while. Just because your tractors and equipment you use in your little hay operation don’t have them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist and aren’t a common item.
