Quick-connect loader fittings

[DMF]

I want a set-up where I can pull one lever and easily disconnect all 4 fittings on my loader. I'm sure someone makes such an animal... Who knows where and how much will it cost me?

Probably get better hits on this over in Hydraulics, but I'm thinking the easiest way might be to go with bulkhead fittings, where you can attach them all to a plate and push-pull the whole plate to disconnect the fittings.

That's what I want...where do I get them?

I have never seen such a device...But for what I am sure it would cost-plugging or unplugging 4 QD's just doesn't seem like a big deal.

The MF loaders on the higher HP tractors have the exact set up you want, they are made by ALO, and painted Red. Talk to your dealer.

See the loader on the front page of the brochure.

If we ever do add a loader, I will be getting that QD valve.

Wow, that QD valve looks slick! Something like that would really make life easier....

You would think....but it is a royal PIA on my tractor. The way the fittings are mounted, you cannot slide the sleeve back on the female end. My dealer said that the fittings will push in and pull out without requiring to slide that back and he's right, but I **** near pull my shoulder out everytime I try it. They said it would get easier/looser over time...doesn't sound like a great set-up to me!

Bypass your dealer, and either go to another, or find an ALO dealer. Sounds like BS to me.
