Greetings, I've been reading tons of great posts here and thanks to everyone for some great tips.
I picked up a used B7500 with a Woods 1006 FEL a couple of months ago and have been doing some great work with it around the building where I work and also cleaning out around the lake where I live.
Yesterday I decided to see if I could remove the FEL to do some tight mowing around the trees. Using the manual that came with it I was able to easily set it up and slip the tractor back. Three quick disconnect hoses made quick work of the hydraulics.
My problem came when I attempted to operate the boxblade after I had removed the FEL. One of the three lines that are now disconnected builds up huge pressure and begins flowing hydraulic fluid out onto the ground. Was I supposed to take this longish hydraulic hose and connect it somewhere to complete a circuit so that all the pressure doesn't hit the unconnected quick disconnect? Or do I just have a bad hose that should hold the pressure and doesn't?
Thanks!
