Thanks jcb

[Willie adie]

Cheers for making it near impossible to pop in the male connectors.
And for making the position of the spools right next to other pipes making it awkward as f**k to push them in
And this so called thing to release oil pressure. As well pulling my plonker as pull that

Not great but don't you want them other way around male on machine female on implement.

That's my preferred way as when using a bucket crap don't fill up in the female couplings

 

[jondear]

It's the way Mx do it .And on my jcb

 

[Lincs Lass]

Could you make a wider plate and space them further apart,less chance then of scabed knuckles

 

[fermerboy]

I see thats not the standard flat face fittings, would they not be better??
I usually have a male and a female on each and that allows you to connect the implement ones together if not in use, and the pipes are always connected the same way round. Saves the blue spray!!
Agree its not a great patent.

On our 530-70 you could always release the pressure in the pipes by turning the machine off and activating the service buttons on the joy stick. Old hat I guess now?

 

[milkloss]

You’ll find flat face fittings much better. They are able to engage with pressure that would prevent a standard, don’t expect miracles though, they give You that little bit more chance. Easier to keep clean too. Male and female on each implement.

or flick the locking pins halfway to detach and attach, but be careful!

 

[Hilti]

Couple of 45 degree fittings would sort that , as for the pressure problem - I have a Manitou so have no issue [emoji6]

 

[Dave W]

From that pic it looks like the pipes on the attachment causing the problem. Not long enough. The one connected is pulling across

 

[Andrew]

Flat face couplings are so much better. Put a male and a female on everything, can’t be connected wrong way round then.

 

[traineefarmer]

That doesn't look factory to me, more like some dealer bodgery.

just how I do it

 

[mo!]

Male and female flat face and we put a 90° elbow on so that you can push them on more easily, fine until Dad drops the grab off without unplugging...

 

[Mr Charisma]

We had 2 short pipes made up and made a plate to bolt onto headstock

 

[Timbo]

Switch off engine, immediately turn on ignition. Thumb the roller both ways job done. Repeat before uncoupling also. Not sure why you're making it heavy going!

The 531 / 541 etc has electric pressure dump on a button in cab.

 

[Nithsdale]

You asked for those extra pipes, didn't you?..
it's a dealership bodge and not JCB - IMO


Throw them sh*t couplings away whilst you're at it. I didn't know telehandlers came with them - Or did you have them fitted, too?...

Certainly doesn’t look like any of our Loadalls.

What model is it?

Easy fix pipe it Right to the headstock like we did on ours 20 odd years ago a lot better to work with
