I finally took my loader off my L2501HST for the first time to see if it helped give me more power while grader/scraping. It was really pretty easy. I did find that all hoses except for the orange one were very easy to connect. So, is Orange the one that is problematic for your loader? I’m assuming the color scheme is the same for each loader, but maybe not. Note: I do not have a 3rd function of any type.
For those interested, there was a plus and a minus. The plus was I didn’t have the loader bouncing and didn’t have to lift it to make tight turns. The minus was I didn’t have anywhere to mount my magnetic mirrors. Technically, I could have put the on the hood or upgrights. I didn’t notice a significant difference going uphill and still had to back off the treadle pedal while in M.
