Why are the quick disconnects so pricey

[Just2quickz28]

OUCH........................

I just looked up the price on a set of Kubota Quick Disconnects for a snow plow set up. They are 26$ each. O, and add 2.75$ for the plastic caps/plugs.

Is that the normal price for these things?

I must be getting old, because I look at the price of almost everything and think its too pricey.

It just seems very pricey I need 2 disconnects and would like 2 caps for the hoses that is like 60$ worth of stuff. When I can get Myers snowplow quick disconnects for well under that, i think 38$ was what i was quoted for 2 female ends and 2 male ends. That would give me the stuff to change the factory connectors to Myers style and use the snow plow fittings for the plow lines.

My Kubota came with Snap-Tite QC's..

When I installed my remotes, I bought direct from Snap-Tite. I don't recall them being that expensive, but they weren't cheap either. But, they're also not Chi-Com junk..

That would be great, if I am reading that site correctly, that the ISO-B 1/4 quick disconnects is what i would need. I will try to verify that. Big cost savings.

Thanks

Just ordered two females ISO 7241-B's from here for a pretty good price, though shipping will add to the cost. Delivered in one day however. These worked for my BX1860.

ISO 7241 Series B Quick Disconnects (Complete Set)

looks like a set of male/female couplers starts at $11.66 (for 1/4" steel)

yup as per info to my document I have:

The BX24, BX23 and BX22 use the following Snap-Tite equivalent components:

Snap-Tite coupler = 72C4-4F NPT
Snap-Tite nipple = 72N4-4F NPT


Its the same as what you found
