So I'm having the common problem that my quick-attach hydraulic couplings won't go in, but I have tried ALL the fixes I've found in past threads here on TBN, on other tractor sites, and on youtube videos - most talk about residual pressure on one side, I have bled pressure and a bit of fluid out from both sides of the circuit literally 10+ times now, there is zero residual pressure on either side. I have inspected and fiddled with the collar and ball bearings in the female side coupler and everything moves freely with no resistance. I cleaned behind the collar to make sure it's going all the way back, and it is. There is no visible damage, dirt or corrosion on either coupler.
Now what?
My setup is a Kioti DK5010HS with the dealer-installed OEM single rear remote, trying to attach to the supplied hoses and Kioti dealer-supplied couplings for my Woodmaxx SB72 chute rotation motor. This is only the third time I've had to attach these - I do it once per winter. Year one was a mighty struggle but just finally went in. Year two was no struggle at all. Now I'm at year three and I've tried for three days without any luck.
What can I try next? Need help!
