Photo request for QD location on loader

[MinnesotaEric]

Hello,

I'm trying to puzzle out the best way to run 3rd function lines down the loader of my Kioti NX6010.

I'm thinking about using hard lines, but with hard lines I'm wondering how or where I should mount the quick disconnects.

Photos and suggestions are welcome.

Mine are attached to the cross member on the loader with a plate, you could do the same thing with hard lines I believe.

Up on the other end, do you have QDs so that you have the option to remove the loader on your 3rd F hydraulic lines? If so, do you have a bolt on plate there as well?

There are QDs at both ends so I can take off the loader. There is no plate on the rear, it is attached/detached right at the valve.

Here is how JD terminates their 3rd function hardlines (misc pic found on TBN, not mine):

Hope this file attachment works.

Here's mine on a Kubota L4330. Rubber hoses connect directly to the WR Long valve mounted under the joystick, using pioneer type quick connect couplers. (Not shown in the picture)

I made two aluminum "straps" to support the hose in the same tapped holes that the steel lines used, to avoid plastic ties.

In front, a length of angle iron that also mounts in pre-existing tapped holes in the cross tube. Sometimes, (most times) those couplers are stubborn and I wanted a solid mount to push against when connecting. I used bulkhead connectors thru the angle iron between the standard hose end and the flat faced couplers. Someday, I might add some 90 degree elbows between the hoses and the bulkhead connectors.

Solid lines would require some careful measurement.

Everybody: thank you very much!

It really looks like JD has the easiest method. If you know, what application is that parts schematic from?

Yep, sure do...

The 300cx and 400cx loaders.

I have a Kubota LA1153 loader with a WR Long valve mounted on a bracket off the frame of the tractor - located at the base of the most rearward vertical frame member of the loader and between the loader and tractor frames. The QD, for loader disconnect, is on the outboard/downstream side of the WR Long valve and is directly attached to this valve. From this valve to the QD mounted on the top most cross member on the loader is all rubber hose with two strategical located bracket for hose location and attachment. The hydraulic hose is mounted on the inside of the top frame member of the loader. There is a bracket on the top cross member, at the front of the loader where this hose terminates at a QD so an implement(grapple in my case) can be disconnected.

Sorry, the pics I do have don't show all verbalized above. If you want I can take pics after the sun comes up. It would be no problem to get these pics for you(digital camera here) and attach to post. Right now its pitch black outside and I would wait until its light. My third member job was done by my Kubota dealer - who, rather than me, knows what he was doing and did an excellent job.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I'm going to try and route hardlines as JD does using my existing mounting points while doubling the cute, little plastic line holder thingies and longer bolts. I think it is simpler to just have the line do a little kick at the end. Hopefully this week, I'll be in the thick of line running but I'm still waiting for my D05 stuff to come in.
