First post, about AUX hydraulic couplers size

[1awert1]

I have a BC 763G, recently i bought a used snow plow w/ right/left pivet. the couplers on the plow Hyd. lines do not match the BC Aux couplers, BC is larger with flat inner covers (plugs i call them), where the plow has smaller diameter with the ball bearing type plug. question which should i change? I heard the larger BC ones are $$$$$ where the smaller one are fairly cheap. but are the smaller ones too restrictive???

I don't believe the flat face couplers are that expensive, they are more than the older style, but not by that much i don't believe.
You don't need to buy these from the dealer alone, other hydraulic shops sell them too.

HAAA......Tractor supply wants over $100 for the pair of flat face....vs $17 for a pair of regular couplers............i guess i have my answer......

Just to swing a plow, I would purchase the old style, in fact you may need a restrictor in the line depending on how much flow your machine has. The plow may swing a lot faster than you want it to and they make adjustable flow regulators to put in trhe line.
