What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

I'm not 100% certain that it's the heat. The white/yellow hoses are always the ones that end up with stored pressure. I never had the red/blue need relief. If it's all temperature-related why don't the red/blue hoses have pressure on them? Something else afoot?

I'll need to look more closely at this with my FEL. Maybe I sometimes don't allow enough time for the last of the pressure to bleed off?

Removing and reinstalling the FEL isn't difficult. I've had mine in and off a lot. I have a snow plow mounted on an extra SSQA plate that is on all Winter. The other three seasons the bucket is on the FEL and it's removed and parked in the shed. The FEL is reinstalled whenever it's needed for a task.

When removing the FEL, I get it all unpinned and back away a bit with only the hoses attached. Then I shut the tractor down and keep moving the joystick till pressure is all equalized. THEN I disconnect the hoses. When reinstalling I stop short of the frame to get good access to the hose connections, hook them up and them drive the rest of the way into the frame.

Ill probably give it a try. Once the heat breaks. Park the fel in the shade if I can. Lube pins ect before re-attaching.

It may still have a pressure difference parked in the garage. Like others said above, easy to release the build-up.

They don't mention this when taking the FEL off. The videos simply show them taking it off and putting it back on haha.

Tried to get my field bushhogged today.
But the 'heat dome' did me in. I got it half done.
Plenty of wild maine blueberry growing.
Looks like a good crop.

Looks like there was a big ball of wool mixed in with the sheep $hit! Hopefully you caught it before it blew over to the neighbor's property like a tumbleweed!

That's Daisy, she just got a trim Friday and only has about a third of the fur now.

Before pic, she likes to be comfortable

I have had mine off many times and this is the first time that I have had to releave the pressure on it. But this is the first time the temperature changed this much. It doesn't tale much of a rise to cause the pressure to build since the hydraulic fluid doesn't compress and expands as it warms.

Put the seedlings on skids. Corrected total is 137.

Moved a few things around while the forks were on.
