Mike, you really have me baffled here. I think I can disconnect and reconnect all four quick-connects in the time it takes you to put down the kick-stand. Also, are you thinking clearly about the original post? How do you take off your loader if the quick-connects have come loose? I have to use my hydraulics to remove my loader. If a hydraulic line is loose, disconnect just doesn't happen. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif In my opinion... The only reason to wait until you back out of the loader to disconnect the hydraulic lines (and the opposite to re-install the loader) is because you have to use the hydraulics to remove/attach the loader. Trying to unhook the loader with one of the QDs loose could be quite a mess. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I was going by the fact that the 1st post mentioned that he could only lift the FEL to a certain point. One only has to lift it high enough to get the kickstand down then apply down pressure to release the pins. I can back away from the FEL in less than 4 minutes and about the same on a remount.
I suppose I could get my fat fingers in to disconnect/reconnect the quick couplers without the FEL disconnect but if I still have the limited use of the FEL I will always back away for added clearance.
I really like the simplicity that New Holland used in engineering the FEL setup right down to the joystick on the D model.
PS mine is a 17LA because of the SuperSteer.

I don't want to belabor this point, but if you cannot raise your bucket higher than your hood, not only will you have a very hard time getting the kickstand down, but the cylinder that is disconnected is your downpressure side of your lift arms. I suppose you could roll the bucket down, and go through all that hassle, but why?
Anyhow, I am not saying it can't be done, but I have plenty of room around my quick connects, and honestly I don't think I can gain any room by removing the loader. Just to be sure, I checked. Now if you want to be a guinea pig and try it, lower your loader bucket flat on the ground and disconnect your downpressure line to your loader arms. Then go ahead and try to take your loader off. I think you'll see why I am being such a stickler about this point. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif But if you try it, please be careful. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Jim thanks but I think I'll pass on that one. I don't need to put my finger in the flame to know its hot I'm a quick learner.
I agree that if the original post would have said that he had no down pressure then there would be no argument from me however he said that he had limited raising motion on the FEL. I assumed, (god I hate that word) that he still indeed had down pressure. If not then I stand corrected as he could not have made a proper disconnect in that situation. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
