Hook the lines together when you take it off and you will have a lot less trouble when you go to hook them back up.
Makes sense....anyone else do this?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer, Yup, every time I remove my snow plow. Keeps junk out of them.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yup, My Grandpa taught me to do it back when I was just a little.
On my cat loader I use the big wing nut style hook ups and it is much easier than the push style. And the use thread on caps to keep dirt out when not hooked up
Next time you struggle to hook up hydraulic hose like you did there, if you crack the threads between the coupler and the hose ( let off pressure on the implement) it will connect easier for you.
And as nji345 said hooking lines together will help keep pressure balanced in both hoses
Man, on that video I posted with the new grapple...I was embarrassed how hard I had to work to get those fittings off! I usually keep a small hammer and tap those rings if they are being feisty. Not enough to dent or ding; just enough to break that seal. Love seeing Skiddy bop out there in the dirt!!! That thing is so cool!
Laughed out loud when Josh got the 2nd line connected, smiled real big and said "That sucked!"
I would imagine there was a lot of editing preceding that moment to keep this video family friendly...
Wooooo!
Josh, you can let the pressure off the tractor/skid steer by moving the controls, but you can still have pressure on the line(s). Depress the check valve on the end of the line by pressing on it with a screw driver or pushing it against a flat surface.. I suggest putting a rag over it first.
Came out nice Josh. I enjoyed it more than the curious cows. Laughed watching then watch you work. 🤣 take care!

Hello hope you are doing great
Hi Josh, I'm 59 years old and grew up on a farm and raised hogs, cows, chickens, and donkeys. Never knew charred wood and charcoal was a good wormer for cattle. Thats good info. Just shows your never too old to learn something new. Thanks man. I bet its good for hogs as well. Your landscaping looked good. Cleaned up nice.

Love those new attachments . It gets real on the farm sometimes . I'll run into something that normally hooks right up and usually after I knock a little bark off , It'll work just fine .
Josh, it's so good to see you feeling better and with a little energy again. For awhile there, it looked like it was all you could do to just talk to the camera.
Man...it's great to be back Dan!

Get a piece of schoolyard fence 4 or 6ft wide and about 6ft ot 8ft long and put a piece of rebar through the end of it with a rope tied on each side for pulling it and set 4 or 6 car tires and wheels on top of it for weight. Use a lawn tractor or atv. It will smooth out your dirt better than any box spring and it pulls the grass and rocks out and rolls/drops them in piles for you to pickup. I pick them up with a flat shovel and a 5 gallon bucket or wheelbarrow. It works like a cheese grater because of all the little sharp points.

When you take the grapple lines off, make sure that the grapple is not fully closed or opened. It creates more pressure on the flow detent if it is fully actuated.
That hydraulic struggle is real!😁😂
Josh, I just watched this video and at the end you were struggling with the hydraulic connections. Try this - sit in the seat, turn on the key but don't start the skid steer. Click the hydraulic release switch to release. On your right side joy stick switch it so you can move the hand control side to side and move it several times. This will release the hydraulic pressure. You should then be able to hook up your hydraulic lines with no problem. I have the same vintage JD skid steer (mine is a 260) and had the same problem until someone told me about doing this. It works great. Also, do this BEFORE you unhook any attachment that has hydraulics. It will amaze you how easy it is once you do it. You may struggle with your attachments until you unhook all of them this way and then you should be golden!!
You guys have all the fun. Looks beautiful!!!
Very nice demo of the different equipment
Thanks Jan
I'm loving the new intro style josh!
Josh when hooking up your hydraulic lines first turn off the machine. Then turn thw key on the machine but don't start. Engage any safety devices and then move the hydraulic lever for the implement around in circles to relieve the pressure 👍👍
Josh, Some times the pressure is in the hose not in the female end. Take the male end and bump it on a hard surface and it will relieve the pressure. It will let a small amount of hydraulic fluid out.

Did not know that Charcoal was a cow de wormer. 62 years old and still learning.
And I'm learning you like OWTM's too!! You have good taste, for a 62 year old! LOL!!
I have the same skid steer with the same problem connecting hydraulic lines. I found if you keep the handle in the flow position (with the machine off) the lines connect right on. It needs to go to the left for the top line and to the right for the bottom connection. Also it needs to stay in the position when connecting not just back and forth. I watched you suffer connecting the lines and that was exactly what I was doing. Hope it works for you!
Hi...... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Greeting from Miami, FL! Have to say you're the most happy youtube farmer!! always got that smile rain or shine!
My quick claw industrial grapple from quick attach is the best of both worlds. It combines two of those functions together. I got mine this fall and absolutely love it was great for fence line clean up. I love using the rake part of the grapple can’t wait for spring to use it more. If you have electric solenoid‘s on your valve leave the key on and then move your joystick.
Love the drone shots. What a lovely farm. What a beautiful property. You are truly blessed.
Never saw those rock rakes for a skid steer works great
Love to see your herd standing by the fence watching you work. their like a bunch of kids.
Usually to relieve the pressure on the machine side you turn the key but don’t crank it, hit park brake release and work your hydraulic function button or stick. Try to do this every time you hook and unhook bud.

Good job bud it's looking good and at least ya got bate ground we just got another 6to8inches of snow or so but ya watch your self out there

Hello hope you are doing great
I been there and done that with my lines. Released pressure, as far unscrewing the connectors. I found if let the arms all the way down, then release the pressure so they settle into a neutral before unhooking, it work better.
great video - the cows enjoyed the action also - love how they are lined up at the fence looking at the action

A 200’ X 60’ shop ! If I demolished my house I would have a bit space of left around that shop on my property. Looking forward to seeing that shop when it’s done.
Might wind up living in the shop lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I live in a Shouse (shop house) best decision ever. I have all my toys in the shop area and I can just walk out the door and work on something anytime without getting out in the snow or rain. Build a big shop with a living space. You’ll never regret it.
The right tool sure makes it easy, well done
That does a great job.. I'm surprised to be honest..
Have a good day ❄❄❄
Looks great Josh! The tracks sure are more merciful on the land. It would have been a muddy mess without them.
Thanks for sharing your great content. I like learning videos. Also glad your feeling better🤓👍

Hello hope you are doing great
Good job. It’s hard doing anything in the mud.. but you got a great start.
Man!, that toy is cool- will put it on my Christmas list lol!
🔥🔥🔥 SUPER FUN VIDEO MY FRIEND 🎉🎉🎉
Hello Josh, we have Titan rock, tooth, grapple also, tuff equipment🚜🪵👍🏼🇱🇷
I've had to crack the solid line's joints a few times to get things hooked up. What a pain! I have learned to place my grapple so that no movement can occur on the lids AFTER hoses are disconnected. Otherwise it's the grapple that has the "charged" line/s.

Hello hope you are doing great
The more implements you have the more choices you have. Have you tried spraying the couplings with silicone spray. Not sure that’s the right one but there is one that’s good for these couplings. What a difference in the farm from the early videos. Good job Josh. Respect !.
Yes...the farm is growing and evolving for sure!! Can't wait for warmer weather!!!
Josh, when disconnecting attachments from my Ventrac, I leave the attachment in the up position and after I shut off the engine, I let the hydraulics down and that has eliminated the re-connect issues. Hope this helps!
Ventrac is a whole different ball game from this critter....but I do the same thing. Most of the time the ventrac will only have an issue if you've got pressure in the cylinder prior to disconnecting.
The tracks are also good because you want that area nice. When you drive a skid steer with wheels over the yard it really packs the dirt down tight and things don’t grow well, it will destroy a septic system if you drive over it without tracks. We had in addition built on and they kept driving them back-and-forth over the yard and the guy you put the septic tank and had to basically re-dig everything up just to break it up, But other areas they drove it over or messed up still, the grass always grew really thin there no matter how much I fertilize it and we finally killed a big area of that to put a garden in and the grass started growing great there after the garden was gone and anywhere I dug up to plant a tree or something the grass grew fine in that area it was just too compacted. An ATV is fine or a side-by-side come up with a skid loader is just way too heavy without the tracks.
I am digging the heavy metal head banging cow when you are picking up the second stump..... lol.... keep it up my friend!

@@lydiaanderson1747 recovering slowly, but getting excited about getting out on the property i have owned since 1972... ready to clear some, build a cabin and plant a little garden, thanks for asking!
Hi Josh, yes that looks so much better. You are such a hard worker xx
It looks great. Good job
Looks great good job and good patients with connecting the line I would have been saying a lot of bad words not that it helps thanks for the video take care
Great job my friend! That Skid Steer is one handy tool.
Crack the fitting at the cylinder to release the pressure. Once in a while I have to do that.
Your videos is amazing love your channel
Cant wait to see this shop i have bought a few this from titan and they make some good attachments for sure thanks for the video
Looks great. There’s just something satisfying about making your yard/property look nice. 🐄❤️🇺🇸
I put 45 deg elbows on my grapple hoses to give a better pushing grip, sort of like pistol grips.
Hey Josh thank you for the video and I think you did a good job there to 👍
Looks great josh
Definitely too wet! Our pastures over here in Forsyth County are taking a beating this winter
Keen
Hello hope you are doing great
Looking good ole bud
Great content!
Hope all is well on SRF
I know what you going through I dealt with hyd system for 30 years on flat face fittings they good but you need to carry 2 wrenches just take off the one fitting to bleed the hydraulic out of the line once that’s done it will hook up 🙁🙁
I guess there are some advantages to living where the ground freezes solid.
Scott
Hello hope you are doing great
Do the pressure relief before you remove the attachment, I used to leave grapple slightly open on my Cat and turn the key on without starting and hit the buttons for opening and closing the the grapple, never had an issue hooking up again.
Nice job
Clay soil is SO slick once it gets wet. it doesn't need to be real wet, either.
Get yourself a piece of brass about the size of your flat face couple's. Put the brass against the couple and smack it with a hammer. That will relieve the pressure on your system. Hope this helps. I learned this from tractor Mike.... another TH-cam channel.
Hey Josh 🇺🇲 another job well done I really enjoyed this video 🇺🇲💯 WOOOOOO!!!
i love that song.
Josh I noticed you have Teflon tape on your connectors. The Teflon tape can wreak havoc on your hydraulic pump. I would recommend a sealant instead. Just my 2 cents. Keep the good content coming!!!
Yep....ya don't wanna get the teflon tape into the system that's for sure

Hello hope you are doing great
Nice job with the video and reviewing the root rake! I was wondering how the grapple would handle in comparison.
I think the cows are entertained!
When I’ve had trouble connecting my flat face to my T76 Bobcat, if you get one connected and the other one won’t, stop ..disconnect the one that did and connect the one that won’t first and then the other one... works every time
YOU CAN DO IT WATER BOY!!!!!
Those outtakes... "I have the faith" hahah lost it...
Sometimes I gotta take a screwdriver and press in on the face of the coupler to relieve some oil, then they usually cooperate.
Jason
Hello hope you are doing great
@@lydiaanderson1747
A gorgeous lady such as yourself offers an unsolicited hello??? I'm on top of the world!!
@@justanotheridiotredneck Thanks for the reply. I hope you’re doing good. I was surfing the TH-cam channel and I came across your profile and thought you seemed worth talking to, hope you don’t mind
Josh get some high quality H2O after that workout.
When I have left me hook up problems like you had I press the ball against a solid surface and it releases the pressure. You may get some fluid on you but it beats standing there cussing.
James
Hello hope you are doing great
Turn the equipment off and actuate the auxiliary back and forth once to equalise the pressure on the auxiliary equipment side. Keep the attachment lines hooked up together to keep the equaled also.
Good morning
I have the same issue with my flat face style fittings sometimes I even have to loosen the lines to hook them up. I’m gonna try hooking them together and see if that helps! If you figure out a better way let us know!
It won't help..... temp change can increase pressure in your attachment and still make it impossible to connect. Will need to relieve the pressure or get connect under pressure fittings
Drone footage seemed a little fuzzy today..... I believe what your fittings are doing is called hydro-locked (don't quote me on that terminology). There is to much pressure behind the plate when your trying to compress it. Gotta find a sweet spot when your changing out your implements. And try to find that spot everytime. Your fittings don't look dirty to me.
Yep....my drone is about to be replaced. Mavic Pro 2 has been nearly useless since I first started using it
I used to have to make hydraulic lines.
That was one heck of a clap! Great video bro! Such a bummer about the hydraulic lines not doing in, but very funny watching you sweet talk em!
Thanks 👍
That clap was at least as good as when MN Milennial Farmer snaps his fingers.
What manufacture are you choosing for your shop? Will it be a “carport style” garage again? I am in the final stages of preparing for mine this year so I’m curious.
Put a keyway across the slab every 50' to keep cracks out. You'll only need three.
Rockhound!
Now that the ground is so wet, why didn't you burn the debris on site and let the ash provide nutrients to the ground and then clean up what's left in the early spring? :)
leave the ground open over night to dry. then come back with the smooth bucket the next day if you can. make one pass backwards. over each area. our hydrolics will screw you.
If you take a hydraulic attachment off in the morning and try to hook it up in the afternoon you won't be able to because it has built pressure in the attachment with the warmer temp. Very frustrating... only way to fix this is to break the fitting apart to relieve pressure of switch to a threaded connect under pressure fitting witch are very expensive but worth in Imo. Good luck
I have the Yanmar 235 tractor, when changing from backhoe to different implement i have that same problem. I have the regular type hoses.
You're getting a workout just hooking up the hydraulics
ooh, im in 9th place. nice lookin rake.
I had to laugh watching you struggle with those hoses. I hate it when that happens, and it has happened to us all. 👍😁
Rake before seeding
Your chiropractor loves those hydraulic connectors. Ugh. That looks like a pain :/
They really need to put some kind of pressure release valve or something on there, just something like an in-line reservoir where you can hit a button or valve that relieves the pressure in the line just a little to make that easy to push in.
Always fighting hydraulic lines!
Hey Josh! Been following you since the beginning and it's great to seeing you doing well. I've been too busy in the last few months to catch many of them though. 60x200! That's awesome. What are you going to heat it with? I always wanted to get a waste oil furnace in my shop. I don't know if this will work on a flat face coupler, but on the other type with a ball sticking out, you can tap them with a hammer or mallet and that will help relieve pressure. Glad to see you're doing well and keep the excellent videos coming.
Yep...so we'll probably do some gethermal along with a wood stove and central air/heat or mini splits for the farm office, butcher shop and other areas. We shall see what's cost effective
WoooooooooooooHeeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Alright!!!!🤗🤗🤗
Tooth bucket, grapple, rock rake, He who dies with the most toys wins.
Sometimes the dream is a nightmare
all good ol clean living lol
I’m sure it is .
Hi so hate when I’m explaining something and saying how good it is and then right after that breath it starts fighting and giving me fits I feel your pain brother
not sure if you machine has a pressure shut off release . You hold the button till the machine shuts down. then you won't have a hard time hooking up implements .
Looks great! Why don’t you cover it with hay so it can get nutrients. Are you afraid the cows will mess it up? Just asking ,know very little.
