LA 504 FEL Hydraulic Issue...

Initial thought is the quick disconnect is starting to go bad. They can act like check valves and prevent flow in one direction. On a loader the hose should purge just by cycling the cylinders full travel both directions.

Hoses fail or blow for potentially several different reasons like age, chaffed on something, to tight of bend radius, fatigue from repeated pressure spikes, etc.

You are absolutely correct! Changed the quick disconnects and what do you know, problem solved! I have to wonder if that may have caused the hose to fail?
