My Kubota M4900 Tractor has been having hydraulic fluid leaking from the front loader. I already replaced the hoses but the issue is still happening. Now the hydraulic system keeps overheating so I have to stop work to let it cool down. Ready to get back on my working schedule and end the cost of fluid top offs. Any advice appreciated. Thank you

Overheating is indicative of a blockage or restructuon somewhere in the pump circuit. Do you have remotes or a backhoe on the tractor? Where was the leak and what hoses did you replace? Is the loader lifting and operating normally?

You need to find your leak. Recently one of my hard metal lines failed on the welded seam. The failure was invisible with the machine off. I needed a buddy to help spot the leak while I operated the controls. Oil Sprayed out like a pressure washer fan.
Be extremely careful when around high pressure leaks, don't use any body parts ie. hands, fingers, eyes, face to search for the leaks.
Fittings are another potential leak spot.

Very good and important advise. That pressure will penetrate your skin, and fast. If you think you know where the leak may be coming from use some heavy cardboard to see it it's spraying.
