This may already be posted somewhere, but has anybody changed out their hydraulic front loader quick coupler? It’s very sloppy and leaky.. thinking of swapping it out for traditional pioneer couplings or something and curious if anybody has done it yet?

Contact your dealer. Same happened to mine. They replaced it for under warranty. They said there was a redesign to it at some point.

Are you talking about the aux hydraulic couplers or for the complete loader?

I've switched my front aux hydraulic couplers over to the flat faced couplers and they seem to stay a little cleaner than the pioneers.

If you are talking about the loader I'd just replace the leaky ones with new couplers as you can buy them on sale pretty cheap. I wouldn't bother replacing the full set unless they were all leaking a fair bit.

You can buy a seal replacement kit for your existing couplers. May or may not be worth your time and effort. I find that if they've been leaking a while dust and dirt gets into really hard to clean places and replacing the coupler saves time and aggravation. You can buy a new coupler for under $20 or the "seal kit" for $10.

They are talking about the New Hydraulic Quick connector block, it connects all 4 loader lines at the same time with the flip of a lever, not individually like the old models.
It does not use standard hydraulic couplers. ;)
