        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:

          I watched it several times, even in stop-motion. I do believe you are correct.

          Isn't that caused by those quick-connects?

            The QC's may be the culprit, they often are.  Sure looks like the hydraulic pump blew the seal, at a minimum.

              Nobody saw this before they posted it? It reminds me of a company that has sent me two sample pens with my business name on them, neither one worked.embarassedroflmaoroflmaoroflmao

                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.

                  Yep. The end cover was reversed 180 degrees. Bummer. The picture should have been taken from the rear or rear oblique of the pump to show the discharge port as being opposite of the suction port. Glad all is well now.

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

                      Don't know about that, but the end cover was obviously 180 out which was a pump assembly glitch. The new pump was assembled correctly, so in reality there were probably two underlying issues resolved.

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