Rear Hydraulic Remote - Correct Connection Usage for Mounted Block Type Units

[UpNorthMI]

I just had some rear remote work done and the dealer fitted this type of mount (not my photo). All of my other rear remotes are mounted on a flat steel plate and are just regular female 1/2" ag type connectors, that are simple to use by pulling back the collar ring.

What is the correct way to use these hydraulic outlets with the grey mounting blocks? It took me a minute to work out how to get the dust covers off, I ended up pulling the rear of the connecting pipe rearward to get the dust caps released and to insert my male connectors. I assume their is a much easier way to operate these connectors correctly. It seems a stupid question but I'm always out to learn in life.

Many thanks.

I pluck the caps of by pulling the wire/cord. The fitting comes off with a tug on the hose, too. I have a 90° fitting right after connection just as in the picture above, and it's a good place for me to grab and pull.

The rear remotes on most of today tractors are designed to release if you disconnect an implement but forget to disconnect the hydraulic lines.

The only way is to give them a tug to release. Their is no pull back ring equivalent in their operation.

Your doing it right, that is a break away connector. Drawbar implements (disk, plow, planter, ect) will seperate from tractor to prevent major damage. When pulling forces transfer to hoses, they pop apart.

will convert pioneer couplers to break away operation

So just push in to connect and pull out to disconnect? Simple enough just a little non intuitive when I normally use a retaining ring on a normal connector. I will try being a little more forceful.

can I use any male 1/2 ag connector for these to work properly?

Thanks for the info, it makes sense.

I use a normal male connector without issues.

On that pioneer mount, I pull the tractor hose rearward to release the locking balls, insert male coupler and press forward. Pulling implement hose releases connection.

Without mount - slide locking collar. With mount - slide hose.
