Remote Hookup Difficult 2-105

What is you guys trick to easily unhooking and hooking the hydraulic lines on a 2-105? I've got a real nice 2200 hour one that I bought off a retired neighbor a few years ago. Its one of my two tractors I actively use farming part-time and I have to switch implements all the time, some use both sets. I always have one or two lines that are near impossible to get out or in. On my JD 4440 I can shut it off, cycle the lever a few times and it relieves all pressure on the lines. The White doesn't seem to do that, I end up doing every possible combo with the levers running and not and eventually I get the line to snap in. It took me an hour and a busted knuckle yesterday to switch from a 2 remote disk to a 2 remote field cultivator... I like the tractor other than that, so what's the trick?
 
When that happens,I tap the male end on the drawbar to relieve the pressure on male end of the implement line. If the problem is on the female end, I keep a 5/8 X 8 inch bolt in the tool box and relieve the pressure by tapping lightly on the bolt.
There are a few male Pioneer ends that are hard to tell the difference by lookin at them.
Maybe check the numbers on the male end to make sure they are the right ones. Sorry I do not have numbers handy.
 
My "trick" is to trick somebody else into coupling them for me :lol:

But, seriously, I don't think there is a good "trick" other than to install shutoff valves behind each coupler.
 
I found with my Masseys that I have to make sure there is little or no pressure in the lines on the implement, when I unhook it. If the implement has pressure it is nearly impossible to get the lines hooked back up the next time. I make sure the implements are all down and sitting on the ground before unhooking. Have had little or no problem since figuring this out.

I had that problem with my 1750 Oliver when I farmed. It was very frustrating! I purchased Pioneer hydraulic couplings with on and off pressure handles. Never had the problem again. They are somewhat expensive but you will be very happy that you put them on your tractor. You will never have to shut off your tractor again in order to hook up your hydraulic hoses.
 
pioneer 8000 series couplers and ends are made to hook up under pressure, keep pressure off as much as possible, push them in and then pull out. best to lock inmplement up and keep pressure off cylinder, or lower completly down
 
rather than using a bolt on the female end I use a piece of hardwood so as not to damage the ball, an old small hammer handle works well. just keep one in your tool box, can be pushed in or tapped with a hammer to loosen the ball.
 
I have the same issue with the factory outlets. Luckily, I tend to use the two aftermarket sets of outlets I plumbed into the system. One issue with the factory sets is that there is no float setting (would remove all pressure), and I think the levers have zero impact when the engine is off. I installed the Prince valve mostly to get the float function, and independently control both wings of my mower. But now I use them for most everything.
 
Trevor I had an 1800 diesel that someone had put t's in the line with shutoff valves so the pressure could be relieved. It did not matter where I stood when the valve was cracked opened I got showered in oil. I looked for the pioneers that I could couple under pressure but never found them locally. If I still had it that is the route to go.
 
Thanks for all the advice guys. I will look into the Pioneer pressure couplers and other solutions this Winter once my full time job and the farming both slow down.
