I have a 02 Cat skid steer, I put my plow (8' sno-wolf)(new to me)on the other day, No problem with the 2 connectors. Took it off for a few hrs to run the bucket. Now I can not get the 2 hoses reconnected seem to be too much presser. I tryed with plow down,Running,not running,few hr break nothing. have no valve like the backhoe to release the presser, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TRY NOW ???:confused: Any Ideas ? Thanks

You will have to loosen the hoses to release the pressure.

Is this normal ? I was working it hard in very wet, heavy snow.

My skid steer has a button in the cab that you can push to relieve the pressure on the lines. Sometimes it does not work and I have to loosen the lines up on the 4in 1 bucket. That will take the pressure off the lines and it should go right together. Letting less than and ounce of fluid out should do the trick.

there is either a button to release the pressure or turn the key to "on" and move the controls back and forth to release the pressure before you disconnect next time. for now, you have pressure in the lines of your implement which you need to relieve by either loosening the lines on the implement or pushing the quick connect to open and relieve the pressure........then reconnect and next time, relieve pressure before you disconnect.

I think he means the disconnects from the attachment are locked up?
If it is the ones on the machine usually you can just reverse the flow with the aux control.
If you had the attachment bound up when you unhooked them (pressure on one line) they fittings will be impossible to depress.
I usually reverse the attachment when finished to equalize the pressure then remove the lines.

There's a pressure release valve switch in the cab, on the right top side, shut the engine off, keep the key in the "run" position and hold that rocker switch down while you push the buttons to activate the hydraulic flow to the blade.
If that fails, just crack a fitting loose on one of the hoses.

The Snowwolf I had gave me problems like every other time I took it off, just kept some crescent wrenches in the machine and got pretty fast cracking the lines.

Thanks guys, I did end up cracking the fitting on the pistons worked slick. Then later on I tried the key in the on position and played with the left,right buttons on the right joy stick , It seem to work, not great but worked. I will keep the crescent wrenches with me from now on. Again thanks for your info.
