What if I got two connectors and mounted them onto each end of a TEE inline with the pressure source hose and placed a gauge there? That would reveal fluctuating values as the loader was operated without interfering with flow. Do you know the pressure values to look for?

By the way, I've read lots of conflicting opinions on fluids. I have been using TSC Premium Tractor Trans/Hydraulic fluid. It is labeled as compatible with Kubota equipment. The last time I cleaned the screen was many years ago, like 14 or maybe more. I use the tractor very seldom. It sits...
