How quick is a "quick attach?"

[DennisFolsom]

I discovered that gravity wants to roll the bucket back on my JD 460 loader. Consequently, the bucket curl line had pressure in it from just sitting there. This made it hard to connect the line.

Next time I take the loader off, I'm going to try to roll the bucket back to the position that gravity wants to take it to, before disconnecting the hoses. The downside to this method is that the bucket would not drain, if I were to leave it outdoors and it rained. I suppose I could fix that by drilling drain holes. For now, I don't expect I would be taking the loader off for any amount of time, anyway.

I let the rain collect in the bucket when I have it off. The first few loads of rock or dirt will make that surface rust go away real quick.
