The Original Tractor Relief Tool™ a Must Have!

[TractorReliefTool]

I'm here to make your Tractor Life Easier!

What's up guys. Fellow Kubota Owner here. I manufacture a tool to release the pressure on your tractors hydraulic couplings. I developed it out of my everyday use on the ranch with the grapple on my tractor and the constant fight putting it on and off. Check out the website or buy on Amazon. This tool will seriously make your life easier, I use it several times a week changing implements. Glad to be here!

Please go to website to figure out how to confirm your size. Or feel free to email me!
Release with ease!!!

I have had issues with my front end loader. I have to take it off when installing the snowblower. Currently to lazy to go measure, so anyone know what size for the LX2610?

Please take the time to measure the diameter when you get a moment. There is no rhyme or reason on coupling sizes/types it seems. You can email me the diameter and pic of coupling and I will verify for you.

Curious why this is needed. Is there a reason that Kubota's procedure (basically shut off the engine, and push the hydraulic control lever through all its positions) doesn't work? I've had no issues.

Many times , it happened to me, that it is the lines on the grapple. I took my grapple off in the fall, it was a cool day. It was warm day in the spring when I went to reinstall and I could not for the life of me overcome the pressure build up in the grapple lines. I had no other tools and ended up unscrewing one of the couplers to relieve the pressure.

When implements sit in the sun they build up pressure when disconnected, which make it extremely difficult to connect to the tractor side hoses. While the toggling of the joy stick etc may work for the tractor side, there are just as many occasions that it does not, and it does not relieve the pressure on the implement side.

I like the idea of your Tractor Relief Tool. It seems to me that it not only makes it easy to relieve excess hydraulic pressure, it appears that it would also prevent damage to the coupling when using it to relieve pressure in the lines.

I personally wouldn't call the tools a "must-have" but DID wish I had one this past weekend as my Front-End Loader was not going on due to hydraulic pressure lock. Remembering this thread I cracked the white (lift) line connector and it and the opposite direction fitting went right on. Cracked the red (curl) line, bled some hydraulic fluid (friggin' mess), and no dice. Two more bleeds and it lost enough pressure to go on. (I should know better than to not wear nitrile gloves...)

It would have been wayyyy nicer to have the puke tube on the tool drain into the waste oil container instead of the paper towel I was holding, so I should probably get a set. Problem is I always forget which Pioneer valves the BX has and it's at a remote location, so here I sit with my thumb up...uh, anyway...wish I had a set.

I have 2 sets (as I have some distance between my properties and machines). Compared to a using a screwdriver and a rag in a pinch, they seem not free…however they are very effective. I’d absolutely buy a set all over again. If all machines living in same shop one set would be enough though.

I used them over the weekend(both sets). And sure glad I had a set in the tool box(if you can call it that) on the MX. I use them more frequently than other tools that I have two of , so at least they get used.

I wish the push pull connectors at the rear remotes could use them as well on the machine side.

Yes is see that

Looks like I need another tool.
I recently took my BH off, inside a cool building. I made extra sure to do it with a cold tractor (fluid cold) and shut the tractor off, wiggled all lines after the outriggers were strapped up. A few months later, temps not more than 20 degrees different, cold tractor, couplers would not connect, however, a light rap with a light rubber mallet worked but.... I was not happy about it. I thought... what I need is a relief tool and not a hammer.
Guess I'll be ordering one set of these soon,,,,,

I bought one as I had the same issue repeated with my grapple. If I took it off on a cool day and went to reconnect it later on a warm day it would not connect. I end up using it more frequently than I thought. I keep it in a heavy duty ziplock bag in the tool box behind the seat of the tractor.

I understood this thread about the relief tool…but i wonder what the experts do on rear remotes that are push pull? Or am I the only one that struggles sometimes to insert the male end (don’t make it weird…I know what my dad would tell me ). Anyway how you all handle the push pull when they don’t want to accept? Thanks.
