Mini quick connect stuck

[evo]

Was it mostly open or closed, resting on the tines, where gravity was pressurizing it? Squeezing something?

Mostly open with the yellow hitch in, set like a tripod

How are you guys parking the Bmg when you take it off? I’ve tried grappling a log, hanging it from a tree with a rope, just setting it on the ground, and I had problems every time. I’d shut off machine, with grapples not fully open or fully closed, cycle through all the functions to release pressure and I still had great difficulty connecting the hoses. Cracking the fittings has been the only thing that’s worked for me

I rare take it off, and also have had problems. Unless the grapple is mostly closed, and dumped on its side. Considering welding a post same diameter as the trailer hitch adapter on the trailer.

That is a good idea!

Have had the same issue and varying luck with cycling the grapple lever before detaching, idling for a few minutes etc. Was also told to disconnect with the grapple all the way closed? Yesterday Sean disconnected without cycling, after being run hard with grapple all the way open and it popped right back on without a fight. Can't find rhyme or reason with it, only have 50hrs on this machine though fwiw.
