Take a look at some of the female AG connectors on some some of the larger Kubota's and you will notice there is no outer ring for you to get your hand on. They move in the housing that surrounds them as you pull on the hose the "guts" of the connector move with the hose and the outer shell stays fixed in the housing and the hose disconnects. And when you shove the male connector into the female it moves backward and also releases the balls and the connection is accomplished without your hand on the outer shell. *
*yeah, yeah, I said male, female, balls, and hand all in the same sentence. But we are not in the 8th grade anymore.

You have to admit that the use of the double acting outer shell and mounting that to a housing is a really cool idea to prevent damage to hoses if the operator forgets to disconnect the hoses and just drives the tractor away. We know it can and does happen. We have visual proof!

Pioneer Quick Coupling, 1/2 in. Double Acting Sleeve Set at Tractor Supply Co.
Here is a double acting sleeve set. mount the sleeve in a sheetmetal hole with an E clip on both front and back and if you drive off without disconnecting the hoses they will automatically disconnect.

Right, same as my Kioti, but the double acting ones are kinda cool.

...but can’t you still “retract” the cylinder with the tractor off if the snowblower is pushing on the cylinder? Sort of like lowering the 3pth or FEL with the tractor off?
It will retract until there’s no force and that’s when the pin will be unbound.
I realize we’re discussing minutiae here...
