Kubota Quick connect coupler

[gregjo1948]

I recently bought a Kubota front loader LA344. It has a quick connect/disconnect coupler attaching the hydraulic lines to the tractor. I didn't get the part of the coupler that stays with the tractor when the loader is removed. I have the coupler part that has the locking handle that stays with the loader. Anyone know where I can get the coupler "receiver" that stays with the tractor. It has 4 quick attach couplers in line mounted on a plate. I don't need the control valve unit. thank you, gregjo1948

As a rough guess I'll say the Kubota dealer should be able to provide it. Otherwise you could check with a hydraulic shop.

Snap a photo. The couplers are identified as “male” or “female”. I assume when you say receiver you mean female?

I believe he's talking about one of those "one hand, connect under pressure" setups that most manufacturers offer?? His tractor doesn't have it.

I don't know what Kubota tractor model that loader would come on?? If you know that you could then do a parts search on that tractor to see what's available? Or as Roadworthy said, talk to a Kubota dealer.

Were it me,,, I'd remove the fancy connector box and put four simple quick couplers on my tractor and convert the loader hoses to matching couplers?

Plus one but if you do, don't forget to color code the lines and connectors. I use colored electrical tape for that.

That gang connector thing is a gimmick.

I think I will probably go with the quick couplers. I found the part I was looking for and it is $170.00 plus. thanks for the replies and help, gregjo1948
