It would just need to be on the tractor.
I respectfully disagree..
Yesterday’s struggle was on 2 different attachments…. The post puller and the grapple. They were pulled off when it was cold… and it got HOT.. so the hydro expanded…
On the Yanmar I have, all the attachment side are male ends with the female ends on the tractor. IF I was to do t’s I’d have to 4 on the attachments, and then what about the top and tilt? I see a couple reasons to remove one..
so another set of 4?
More times than I can care to count I’ve taped the male end and gotten a splash of hydro fluid.. for the female end I once broke a piece of dowel and that was sooo much fun getting it out… since I had 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 I only used a dowel that fit all 3… that was a mistake that cost me HOURS OF FUN.. sarcasm off..
So with that said, I like the the clamp or the pressure releaser that will work on any and all.. in the end, I’m a due diligence guy.. if I can spend $80 or even $150 and have a proven tool, and not have to spent 2 hours monkeying with some homemade tool that is not perfect.. I’ll spend that $80 everytime..
I see it all of your ideas as options I didn’t know or think of before.. one of my biggest problems is just not enough time.. 2 young kids, a small business, and lots of things to do.. losing 15-30 for what should be a 2 min change just is not enticing..
The PT Squared tool.. or the X boom..
I see cases where one will work better than the other.. and where sometimes both may be a good idea..
… not meant to be disrespectful.. or cast a shadow on anyone’s idea.. just wanted to give my thought process..
