Hydraulic connectors

what I did after a bit of messing around with the loader hoses on a 2025r 2021 model with mauser cab, I found a shop that does gates hoses which john deere uses had the angled ends cut off and replaced with straight ends on mine when hooking up it is tight but when hooked and mounted no problem with length and I sit on a stool and hook and unhook with no problem

I have Arthritis in my hands and have a hard time connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic lines.

Does JD or anyone else make an adapter kit that changes the angle of the connectors?

And remember to relieve the pressure in the lines before attempting to connect them. Do this by moving the joystick left, right, up, down after shutting the tractor off.

And ideally also relieve pressure that has built up while sitting in the loader with either a Waite tool (available from KBOH.com) or the messy put a rag over the tip and push against a loader mast or similar. Sometimes that pressure in the loader can make it almost impossible to connect back to the tractor.
