I have a New Holland compact track loader with a CAT dozer blade I use with it sometimes. Today I went to connect and use blade and the 2 hoses from the blade won't press over and connect with the boom hoses. It's as if there is pressure in the boom side of the hoses and they wont let the blade hoses insert. I cycled machine on/off a few times and also moved and released the hydraulics but it didn't change anything. Has anyone had this happen before? The connections and blade worked just fine a couple of weeks ago. I was going to let it sit overnight and see if it works then. Maybe it will slowly bleed down over a few hours. I don't have a bleed down switch or anything like that on my New Holland. Thanks for the help if you may have a tip.

Are you sure the attachment isn't at fault? sometimes if it's cold and warms up, the oil will expand a little and you can't get the fitting on. You need to crack the connector to the quick coupler to get it on.
Hopefully it's that easy
