Quick Connect Incompatibility?

[Newkirk]

Hey folks, I just got a nice new Salsco chipper to use with my Kubota L48 tractor. Everything hooked up fine except the hydraulic lines, which I can't get to snap in for the life of me.

I notice all the Kubota quick connects (male) have a little nipple on the end whereas the Salsco lines have a little stainless steel ball. Are both these supposed to be compatible with the Kubota female side? Or is this an Ag hydraulic vs. Series B issue and I may need to swap out the Salsco fittings?

Thanks in advance from Colorado.

I think you nailed it with the ag vs. Series B.

Sounds like you have ISO 5675 connectors on your chipper, and ISO 7241-1 series A
on your Kubota. My understanding is that you can mix them for only one or two
sizes. You may have the non-compatible size.

Or you have ISO 7241 B on the Kubota.

I have not tried it personally, as I have only had ISO As and Bs.

Have you got all the pressure off of the lines and tractor?

They should interchange without any problems. Sometimes the male ends are a few thousandths off though and for whatever reason, they just will not mate up properly. It is possible that you might need to get some new male ends.

This is correct. ISO 5675 and ISO 7241-1 Series A are interchangeable ONLY in the 1/2" nominal body size. All other sizes are not interchangeable.

Or you have ISO 7241 B on the Kubota.

Which do NOT interchange with any of the previously mentioned couplers.

I'm thinking this may be the case. Pictures of rig below and of chipper hydraulic connector. Connector on the Kubota side says PARKER SERIES 60

[ISO 7241 B connectors] do NOT interchange with any of the previously mentioned couplers.

I think HHG nailed it - I just downloaded Parker Series 60 spec sheet and it says:

"Industrial Standard: Parker 60 Series couplings comply with ISO 7241, Series B Standard"

So that seems to be the problem. Now - where to find matching nipples? I don't suppose they'd have 'em at Big R or Home Depot

Local Kubota dealer, any tractor dealer? Discount Hydraulic Hose, me?

Good luck
