Invested about $130 for Gnarly Wraps, a Velcro hydraulic hose wrap/protector. I wrap all of my hoses, especially those inside of the loader and those exposed in the under body. Most importantly, if you have a front 3rd function for a 4 in 1 bucket or other front implement, be sure to get those protected. Eric the Oracle, I watched your most recent video and was surprised to see your hoses were naked! Especially with all the brush you operate in. Also, be sure to use lots of zip ties to secure the hoses in as tight as possible to the loader frame and the body frame to reduce loose-hanging hoses. Good luck!

Usually, you get yourself into some nasty stuff when you least expect it.... Like deciding to push over a small tree, push through some brush, knock down an old chicken coop or shed, etc, etc...

There's also a thread on the forum somewhere that shows how to make spiral wraps from nylon or PEX hose using a home made tool.
