773 Bobcat
I have a 773 Bobcat with power bob-tach. When trying to disconnect the bucket, the left Bob-tach wedge (looking at it from the inside of the cab) works fine. The right one does not work. The right wedge will not move at all - the right arm above the right wedge will move approximately 1/2 of the full movement and stops. The hydraulic oil is full. I need to get the bucket off and get the snowblower on!!

Might try pushing the bucket against a solid object such as a curb while operating the latch cylinders.

Funny, the same thing sometimes happens with the right-side manual attach lever when using the SSQA with my bucket. A wiggle on the bucket up or down frees it right up.

Yep, npalen nailed it. Either your bucket or your SSQA is twisted. Easiest way to relieve the pressure would be to stick the right side lip of the bucket under something and lift up. Then disengage.
