If I knew where to get them I would do that.Sad to say I'd be ponying up to maintain the awesomeness. Do you have a supplier that you get 'em from?
Need to go in my "as-if" tractor bookmark folder....

Email returned. Thanks!
For the sake of the discussion, this is what I had in mind.
I am certainly not locked into this design, but it'd work. Maybe there is a less fitting intensive design. I've seen those air manifolds (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51avnKHPgDL._SX342_.jpg) but it's a 3-up with a spot for a valve, not a 4-up. Plus I dunno about room for the other fitting half.
This is 3/8 fittings and nipples, probably just from Home Depot. 1" nipples appear to be plenty large and give room for the mating fittings.

I can't imagine having to buy the Mates to that Italian connector for each implement. Although it is cool looking.

My Kub. came with "Faster" brand fittings, they are a regular "ag" pattern available locally.
FWIW, I think that a lot of electricaly operated 3 function valves leak some past the sol.valve creating just enough pressure to make connection hard. It seems that a tablespoon or so of fluid that I see when using my little tool is all it takes to make it a not so quick connect :laughing:
aeblank, How did you make out with your Manifold idea?
I did what I mentioned in my post (post #9 I think) I made a pressure release with extra connectors. The problem isn't with the tractor it's with the implement. If you try to reconnect when the temperature is hotter than when you disconnected.... It builds pressure in the lines. It's a problem with the 'new' Flush Face connectors (ISO16028). They are environmentally friendly, just not User friendly.
