I have a L3301 with a L525 FEL. I am interested in how everyone's (FEL) hose connectors are mounted. The four hoses connectors on my tractor have, all four male fitting mounted to the tractor, and the female connectors go with the loader. Is this the normal hose rigging? :confused:

That's the way Kubota configures thier loaders, perfectly normal.
Thank gents for your speedy answers. I have been afraid to remove the FEL, due to the fact that I might mix the hoses when re-attaching the loader. :confused:

Yep if you mix them up it won't work right! ;)

Like others have said colored zip ties or tape works to keep them in order.
They also sell colored rubber caps and plugs to keep them in order and clean.

My snowblower came with black hydro caps so I raided my daughters nail polish and put 3-4 colored matching dots around the perimeter of the fitting, ex: red,yellow,red,blue. Later I found the right color coded caps and replaced the black ones.

Finally, a real use for nail polish, lol.
