Problem attaching hydraulic lines to tractor

My bet is that the line still has fluid under pressure. Can you put the splitter back on and (with the engine off) run the handle back and forth to  release all pressure in the system? If that fails you could unscrew the coupling from the line to vent the pressure.

My experience is that couplers from different manufacturers don't always work well together, and the ones that come with the tractor aren't that great. You might consider just replacing all of them.

Along the same line, maybe the loader lines are under pressure. Maybe the loader was dis-connected while the bucket was raised?

I agree with the above, also if you check with Ronald at Ranchhand suppy 757-650-9124 he has a constant flow kit with brackets, hoses that will give you a supply and return at the rear of your tractor so you do not have to keep unplugging the loader,it's a ecoomical kit to purchase

You are having pressure left in your lines causing the problem. We have the Italian couplers in stock that we swap out on our units when they come in.
