parking a loader

[fountain42]

how do you store your loader for extended periods of time? I remove mine in fall for the snowblower, come spring there is so much pressure on the fitting I have to crack them open to relieve the pressure to be able re hook them to the tractor? any easy way out there or am I doing it wrong

pretty normal. even if you set the laoder down and relaxe the controlls fully when you drop it. heat / cold cycles may make pressure in the lines. lay a shop rag over the pin or ball on themale qd and pop with a hammer or screwdriver handle...

I place a rag over the male end and push it on the loader frame. Make sure the male end is free of any dirt etc before reconnecting.
