Don't count on this working out there in the field. Make sure you have some wrenchs 🔧to crack fittings.

I’m new so please take with a grain of salt and use caution, but they typically work for me, are more for detaching the hoses. First of all make sure they’re always properly cleaned. Yes every time if need be BEFORE connecting hoses. Any debris will make this all way more difficult. Next WHILE THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE AND PARKING BREAK ARE ON, you can wiggle the joysticks to help relieve the pressure. For this I tend to make sure the throttle is up but the breaks MUST BE ACTIVATED. After that I turn the throttle down and shut down the machine before getting out and disconnecting the hoses.

I have a 259D like you said on releasing the pressure. What year have this, why don't work on my equipment?

I have a 239D3, 2020. I need to tow it up on a rollback for transport. It's not running currently. Is it possible to release the tracks hydraulic pressure?

The wires that run with the hydraulic lines that go to track

Don't ever put your hand over a hydraulic end or to stop a leak.

What do you do when they don’t press in?

[@jay8a901]

That wasn't helpful

Didn't work on mine

[@mikerobidoux5196]

If anything get a mechanic in the shop to show it. Company owners like him would have to practice months

[@kevinlittle701]

That does not work in the field, get an actual operator to make the video. Completely different when actually releasing the pressure.
