I thought this was an unusual video to use as promotional video. About one third of the way through the video (while dumping dirt from the loader and just before a close up of the operator stepping on the clutch pedal) a large amount of fluid can be seen pouring from the right side of the engine. I think it might be the main hydraulic pump exploding.  I should know, it happened to me! Follow this link:

My hydraulic pump problem wasn't a consequence of the quick-connects.  I purchased a crated tractor and had zero experience with hydraulics.  I used photos supplied by by the factory. Obviously a mistake! I attached the photo sent by the factory (I added the caution box so nobody uses this picture if they find it on a Google image search).  The second photo shows the consequences of following the factory's directions.  Luckily I dealt with a very reputable deeler and I was overnighted a new pump.

I thought the problem was the discharge port should be connected to the "P" port rather than the "T" port of the loader.

By the way, the video was removed shortly after this thread was started.
