New Grapple, new tractor guy

[BGigHarbor]

its a personal thing, but I prefer the FF couplers for the front. 3/8 sized with a 1/2 inch female thread to match the hoses. I accidentally ordered mine with the 1/2 FF couplers which work but bigger and more expensive than necessary.

You can order them online for reasonable. Parker is one good brand.

Just wondering why you guys like the FF couplers better on the front? If you like them on the front, why not have them on the back also? :confused3:

I have the ag style but would rather have the flat faced all around. They are easier to keep clean. The female ag connector in particular is sometimes difficult to keep clean, even if you use a plug.

The loose less fluid than the ag style couplers. IF I wanted to rent a piece of sikid steer equipment I would be ready to go. It would not be a real simple conversion on the rear, you cant screw one off and put a new one on. I also very rarely unhook my tnt so it doesn't matter.

Thanks for the replies, makes sense. I guess that I don't plug and unplug stuff enough that I even give it much thought. I have just always thought of the flat faced QDS for industrial use. From what I have seen, even the BIG AG tractors still use the typical AG style QDs. But maybe that's changing too. :confused3:

My grapple is coming with 1/2 Ags. Does anyone here notice a difference or has tried the various versions of Ag connectors? Theres some like the safeway model S70 that are no leak and can supposedly undone under pressure with no leaks. I don't have enough experience to know which are the best so Ill go with the Ags for now. If I find the leaks to be too annoying I figure Ill try something else.
