Today I hooked up my 3pt snowblower for the first time on my new M5140. The shoot is hydraulic controlled and works great plugged in to the remote quick connects. My question is the quick connects have black plastic flip caps, and no push release rings. What is the procedure to disconnect the hoses?

The quick disconnects can be removed by pulling them out - I generally give them a quick tug and they pop out. I also relieve the hydraulic pressure by shutting the tractor off and operating the hydraulic control in both directions, but I am guessing that there is little to no residual pressure with the operating of the hydraulic chute.

Oh Ok. I wasn't sure and didn't want to break it so thought I'd ask. I hope I'm early on the need for the blower:rolleyes: Thanks for the response.
