Kubota L4330 with LA853 Loader, Yanmar YM276D with YFL1000 Loader, Yanmar YM276D, Yanmar YM147D, Case 1845C
I have an old tractor with a Front End Loader. The FEL hoses have seen better days to say the least, so those will soon be replaced with new hoses. For some reason, the former owner installed two quick disconnect fittings and left two the traditional style. I would like to change the traditional fittings to quick disconnect fittings. Do any of you know what size fitting need to be ordered by this picture? Thanks.

Hard to tell but looks like it would be 1/2" Pioneer style Ag connectors. For a loader, I think 3/8" would be easier to connect.

The 3/8" are compact but they are only rated at 6.0 GPM.

True, but for a loader it will be fast enough. Also having a little restriction will help when doing multiple functions at the same time. 3/8" is what I have on both my loaders and I have not ever longed for more speed.

Good. I thought you might be talking about a larger tractor with much more GPM. I agree that the 3/8" is fine for most CUT's.

Impossible to tell while they are hooked up unless you can read some writing on them.

If there are numbers or a brand that would be a start.

This would be another place to start https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/v/vspfiles/downloadables/qd_sizechart.pdf
