I got the new remotes piped up on the MH44 today.

Is that the type of coupler that will "break away" with the bodies mounted like that, not by the sleeves around the barrels?

Unless they are, should any drawn implement ever come unhooked, you will be wrecking stuff 'caus the couplers won't disconnect when the hoses are tugged.
 
David I do not know what your going to use these hydraulics for on this MH 44. The couplers you used when mounted like you have them will not break away if the hose is pulled on so it will tear the pipes, valve mount or something else will break. If you think you will need the break away feature you just will need to use a mounting clamp like in the picture and flexible hose with a loop in it so the coupler cam move enough for the bracket to release the male hose end if the hose is pulled on hard.


This is why you see a lot of Oliver tractors with the SCV hoses looped around the rear axle. Then a bracket like the one in the picture holding the coupler.

The valve mounting job and all look great!!!!

I think the easiest way, but $$$ would be to switch to a different type that ARE able to break away when mounted as yours are, only IF you are pulling equipment (rather than connecting a loader to them.

I had first-hand experience, many years ago, when a hitch broke between a double hookup of a cultivator and drill as I was going through a wet spot, pulling them with a Versatile 4X4 tractor.

They way things happened, the lines couldn't unplug, and tugged the drill through the wet spot before I realized what had happened and tore up some hydraulic stuff.
