Well I have to say that I have gotten my 210 loader cocked up a couple of times. I think once on hard ground and once on soft ground. All in all I find it to be pretty easy to put on or take off. I also like the fact that there isn't some cheezy parking stand on the 210 loader. I haven't taken a good look at these new loaders, but that thin tubing would scare me. IIRC It's one of the (many) reasons I chose the 2210 over the BX22. I didn't like the single cylinder bucket curl, and the flimsy parking stand.
As for the hose connections, they will wear a little over time and become a bit easier to make or break. OTOH, if your loader is off, and the hoses have been sitting in th sun, pressure can build up in them and make it darn near impossible to re-connect. In this case you have to purge them to relieve the pressure. Do so by wrapping a shop towel over theend of the hose and push the valve against something hard and immoveable. A paved surface or the mower deck or the loader arm will work.
