ok, here's what i do: i wrap a heavy shop rag around the end of the hose fitting and push the hose against a solid object like the loader frame or such. most of the time a heavy squirt of hyd. oil will come out and then the pressure is released and you can connect the hose. SOMETIMES i have to wrap the end and use a channelock pliers and grip the end against the body of the fitting and squeeze to release the pressure, but that is only if it is real hot and the hose fitting has been exposed to the sun and the fluid has expanded. try the first method first.

"the sweetness of cheap prices is forgotton sooner than the bitterness of poor quality". been there,done that on howse implements. i will never go that way again. i had a bush hog gearbox come loose on the very first mowing job with it. some idiot apparently did not take the time to properly tighten the mounting bolts.

i hear ya, guys. i have the same problem with "pushing" up against the lever, especially when i am bushhogging and i turn to look back. sometime almost makes the bucket dig into the ground. lockout is a great idea and i am gonna start using it.

hey guys, i have a jd870 w/FEL and i move 750 lb and 1,000 lb round bales on the loader with homemade 4x4 wood forks that i bolt on. when loading i stab a roll with my 3 pt hay king spear and pick up a roll with the front forks. works great. i would not try to lift the rolls with the FEL and no counterweight on the 3 pt. go slow when moving and keep the load low to the ground and DO NOT turn fast.
