Hey folks...I was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head, which pioneer male fitting I need to go into the rear Aux Hyd's on an L4150. I'm used to flat face skid steer style quick connectors so I dont know anything about these. Here's a pic. Thanks.

I went through the same thing recently.

From what I understand, there are basically two types, flat face and Pioneer type fittings.

So you are looking for a male and female pioneer style fitting.

Perhaps the OP is trying to determine which SIZE Pioneer fitting (diameter) he needs, but that is not readily determined from a photo.

OP was hoping that these were somewhat “kubota universal” rear pioneer QCs and trying to confirm. If not what is the appropriate way to measure size, and know if I need the ball tip, or nipple tip. Etc. otherwise I’ll have to load it up and take it to the hyd shop. Many thanks.

Do you want male tips for hoses to fit those couplers? If so they are "standard" 1/2" ISO 5675 AG tips found in any tractor supply. Ball or poppet makes no differrence.

Yes sir. Exactly this. I’ve got a set of drawbar discs with hydraulic transport wheels. Now that the L4150 is about done, I need to change the tips from the flat face skid steer style to the AG pioneers. Or make adapter hoses. This gets me going.Good to “see” you again. Thanks for the help.
Do you happen to know if these are the “jiggle to disconnect” or do I grab the back of the tractor side hose and press forward to make the female collar release?

You are not as clueless as you make out 😃

Those are "one hand operation" two way sleeve couplers mounted in breakaway brackets. You simply push the tips in to connect and pull out to disconnect.

I think the females could benefit from a couple blasts of shop air and a good squirt or two of hydraulic oil...

Gotcha.

in all of my attachments between skid steers, tractors, and excavators, I have only run across 2 different types of couplers.

I know just enough to ask dangerous questions. :ROFLMAO:

Oh...the snap rings grab the collars when you pull. Brilliant.

Will do. Had planned on giving them a kroil shower. Air first is a great idea. 🙏

Same. I didnt know there were different standards of the pioneer QC's either, until today. Thanks for jumping in to help. 🤜🤛

Thats right AND the sleeve extends rather than retracts when connecting.

I suspect the housings are specific to those OEM supplied couplers and generic couplers will not fit. I know Kubota wants mucho dinero for replacement couplers. Last I looked sbout $125 each so treat them with TLC.
