Does anyone know of a commercially available system to remotely disconnect hydraulic lines? My application is as follows:
A tractor with three point hitch mounted implement which runs on hydraulics. The three point hitch can be remotely connected and disconnected from inside the cab but the hydraulics connecting the tractor to the implement are not. Would like to be able to drop the implement off the hitch and remotely disconnect the hydraulic lines and drive away. I know you can get manually actuated quick disconnect blocks to disconnect two or more lines at once but have not come across anything that could be remotely disconnected. Note that at this time remote "connection" is not necessary. Looking for ability to disconnect quickly only.
Thanks.
