An excellent idea

Another idea is to use detachable air lines, male one end female the other, it doesn’t matter about the colour, they will only fit one way :bulb:

Have you ever used the clip on electrical leads on a drawbar trailer, they are one piece and quite easy to use.

I’ve seen a connector used on machines, a bit like a scart lead but much bigger, had a nice big un/locking lever, water and dust proof, electrical and air connections all in one, easy to get inside it to repair. Trying to find an example/piccy. On a tractor unit it’d make perfect sense.

I think I know the sort of thing you are on about. They use the same system for quick release front end loaders on tractors.

This would seem to be the way forward :smiley:
