My JD 110 has been giving me a "hard" time lately hooking up my root grapple. The skid-steer couplers on the front end of the FEL wouldn't pressure down to allow hose hookup.
I talked with the local shop foreman and had suggestions offered here on TBN -- nothin' worked...
Buddy that owns a Bobcat 753 came over the other day. He says pull your tractor over here a minute and leave the engine runnin'.
He hooked up the hose couplers! Easier than buttered bread! My owner's manual and the shop foreman instructed me to "turn off engine" while hooking up the hydraulic couplers.
Hmm.. I know what I'll do the next time those couplers won't pressure down.
Any thoughts on why JD would only recommend that the engine be off when attempting to hook up the aux hydraulic couplers?
Thanks for any comments.
