Was wondering what that meant, then looked to the right side of my screen! Wonder if these posts will survive!

I can tell you that I bought from Surplus Center and I was perfectly happy with their service. I'm not sure how much I can disclose and still have this thread survive, but some people here have figured it out.

Glad to hear you found a good solution local to you with a product built here.

So I bought some "cheap" quick couplers for my third function from a vendor that advertises here on TBN. I bought the rest of the stuff (valves, hoses, fittings) from another advertiser here on TBN. Today was the first time I've had the grapple off my tractor since I complete my install last week. I hitched on to my finish mower and started to mow my fields. I noticed a constant drip on one of the quick couplers out front. Stopped, wiped it out and continued mowing. It wasn't very long and it was leaking again...I guess I've got a bad QD, so I disconnected that line up by the valve (I put QD there so I can disconnected from my loader) so I don't drip oil all over my field. I be an sob that one leaks too! So at lunch I called the vendor and explained by situation. He was less than sympathetic.
What's the verdict on these import QDs? Anyone else had trouble?

I did the same and so far (2years +) not a drop of leakage and the flow seems good to. Have switched out between buckets, grapple or no bucket these are the ball type 1/2 inch ones from DHH . Could be a batch problem and or QC oversight

We export scrap to china and then import it right back.

They leave off the s when they send it back.

Glad they worked out for you. I bought four and two leaked. I'm not sure how long the other two will go before they start leaking but I know what I'll replace them with!
It wasn't the defective part so much as the way they handled the situation that'll keep me from buying there again. It would be nice if these online companies would offer two lines of product. One imported and one made here in the USA. If I'd of known I could get all the stuff I needed locally I would have avoided all this. Some times I overlook the obvious :irked:

So does anyone need some import female QD's at a slight discount over retail? :laughing:

I'll toss in some nice new Chinese gages less than a year old. LOL I would take a picture of ones that work but the needles fluttering so hard it would be a blur.
