5740HST/Relieving pressure off of 3rd function valve

[nebraskasparks]

Well I played with the grapple yesterday and switched between that and the bucket a couple of times.
I held the 3rd function valve switches more than three seconds and could hear the relays working...but couldn't get the top (male) connection on the tractor to take the female receptor from the grapple.
I then tried opening the grapple or closing the grapple to see if that made a difference and it didn't.
When I tilted the FEL forward I had no problem making the connection change.

Do you think that this might be the amount of fluid being moved into other lines "relieving" enough pressure to make the connection?
All I know is that the three second hold on both buttons didn't do anything other than keep me entertained and puzzled.

I'll have to try tilting the FEL forward. That seems to be about the only thing I haven't tried...
