I bought a Irwin ratchet clamp specifically for the aux. hydraulics. If I followed the instructions to turn the key to the left to relieve pressure it would always blow a fuse and the machine wouldn't start. I have arthritic hands and the wrench makes attaching and detaching quick and simple.

I have one, it works great coupling and uncoupling.

looking for cross reference for snow plow shoes, bobcat part #7107683

I have a 753 and with arthritic hands absolutely could not connect or disconnect the aux. hose for the snow plow. Irwin makes a trigger clamp that works wonderfully. My machine is supposed to relieve the pressure by turning the key to the left after shutdown, the problem is whenever I do that...

The buttons to turn on the aux hydraulics is up on the right and they work with the right thumb switch. According to the manual before you turn off the machine you should turn the key to the left and that's supposed to relieve the pressure but instead it blows a fuse.

Unfortunately the recommended way to release the pressure - turning the key to the left - always blows a fuse and then the machine won't start at all. Haven't figured that one out yet.

Can anyone recommend quick disconnect connectors for the aux. hydraulics that are easy to connect/disconnect even under pressure? The ones I have require you to push the male end into the female end and I no longer have the strength to do it easily. The collar on the female side does not move.

Thanks for the help, it was a fuse. Now to figure out why turning the key to the left on shut down to release the aux. hydraulics pressure - as per the owner's manual - consistently blows that fuse and doesn't seem to release the pressure.

I ran the skid steer from the garage to the barn to change attachments. I shut it off to disconnect the aux. hydraulics and then it wouldn't start - no crank, no click, nothing. I put the battery booster on and it still did nothing when I turned the key.

I have a Bobcat 753 skid steer and would like to get a mower for it. Is it a big enough machine to handle a mower and/or what limitations might there be. I would like to know what to look for to find one that would work, used or new.
