Replace agro couplers with flat faced?

Oh, and the female side doesn't fill up with dirt and crap the way ag couplers do.

A simple $2 rubber cap solves that.
Those should always be used, no matter the coupler.

Relieving pressure on attachment or tractor side? Me, I just use m/f couplers on tractor and on attachment then connect the attachment hoses together after unhooking.
Others use the Irwin Xboom q/c and others have modified different tools for the task.

XBoom Excavator Coupler System (Excavator Skid Steer Loader Adapter Coupler System)

Ok. This seems interesting but the price! Really?

If you have the Irwin style can you use it to release the coupler too? (As in this post?)

More of an issue getting them on when the implement is under pressure. Always end up needing to bleed of the pressure so they attach. Surprised there isn't a tool for that.
