How do I determine quick couplers for my M9000?

Looks like my female coupler is a Parker 9801 020.

My M9000 uses the same farm standard fittings that you show in the previous link. They are cheap to buy but spill a little hydraulic fluid when you disconnect them. I have found them at most farm stores and every tractor dealer and hydraulic shop will have them.

On the other hand my skid steer uses the very nice but very expensive flat face quick couplers. They don’t leak a drop ever.

Take a look at the hoses connecting the valve to the couplers on the M9000. You will find that thay are 1/2". You can't change your flow rate using 3/4" hose on an implement. The part # for a 1/2" npt male tip is 80104.

Well guys I hate to be so dense, but when I go to TSC or look in a catalog, it looks like they have connectors galore..... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Today I was able to see part of a part number my loader plug. It was Parker 60 series also. It was a H4-63. Using the website above I think I was able to see that it was indeed a 1/2" plug connector

The part # that was given by DouG (80104) looks like a Pioneer part # at TSC VP-8010-4P (1/2" High Flow ISO Tip w/Poppet Check). So that matches my picture above (which came from TSC). So, I will try those.

40Kchicks, I don't understand what you mean by not being able to change my flow with 3/4". I guess I am concerned by MadReferee's statement that 1/2" is only good for 12 GPM, I have 17 GPM. I don't think it is a problem when I am using cylinders. However, I intend to use a motor. This means that the full 17 GPM needs to flow unrestricted. Correct?

I plan to plumb service outlets to my bucket. Do I need 3/4" if I want to use a motor up there?

I think I am getting there.

What kind of flow does your motor take? What is it rated for? Size your hoses accordingly.

You will have to check the QD manufacturer regarding the max flow thru a given size coupler. You can put a 1/2" coupler on a 3/4" hose using the right adapter fittings. You just gotta know the max flow.
