Kubota 3rd Function Hose Quick Disconnect

[LPSteinmetz]

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone has a picture of their equipment hooked up to their 3rd function hose quick disconnect. This is located on my 2015 Kubota L4060. Below is a picture of the hoses for the Everything Attachments Root Grapple I purchased and the valve block for the quick disconnect. I cannot find any literature on how to make this connection and my local dealer has been unresponsive. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Never seen one but...

Take the ends off the grapple hoses, attach to the QA block beside them. The block then goes in the tractor side of the QA and the two pins guide everything to fit properly. Latching the handle draws it up tight and makes the connection.

I think I agree with Derek. So little info it's hard to be sure.

Call EA, they should walk you through it.

That above is your answer I think having ends on your hoses already is what's messing up your thoughts.

Talked to Jeremy today at EA and he had never seen that set-up before. He said that they have an L6060 right now and it doesn't have that type of QA. We talked for about 10 minutes and although he "felt my pain" he really had no answer. I promised I would send him any info that answered the question in case he ran acrossed it again in the future.

Thanks. That's kind of what I was thinking but before I started hacking things together I thought I would ask those with more experience than me before I plowed ahead.

Thanks...what I posted is really all I have to offer for info other than maybe the thread size of the tractor mounted QD.

Here is a pic of my L4060 from 3 years ago when I had my Grapple attached. Hope this helps you get yours connected correctly.

Excellent...thanks for the picture. Curious but aren't those check valves on the terminal end of the removable valve block (part that slides in and gets locked in place)? If so, do they check in different directions? I am at work right now so can't look at my set-up but I thought both valve ports were exactly the same which wouldn't make sense.
