Connecting 2008 3215 Remote

[Crossroads]

I'm attempting to reconnect my hoe for the first time. The hose for the green remote on the outer frame popped right in, no problem. The red remote (the hose you have you bend backward) was a little more work. The yellow remote is a major pain in the wazzoo. It is mounted on the frame in the middle of the tractor facing the rear and with the frame in the way there is no easy way to get two hands on the hose and the fitting. I've tried multiple times but cannot get it locked in. I can't believe they've made it this hard to connect. Any sugestions?

Typically, hydraulic lines are difficult or near impossible to reconnect when there is hydraulic pressure on them.

I know that on my friend's New Holland 2120, in order to hook the backhoe lines up, he needs to shut the tractor off, and work the Hydaulic control lever back and forth to relieve that pressure.

Also, on my 2015, I have to do the same thing when re-attaching the loader hook-ups.
