Tractor Down! Can we find the problem..and fix it?

What happens here

A new custom-made hydraulic hose is prepared (not shown, as it was done off-camera). The twine that was previously attached to the old hose is now tied to the end of the new hose. The new hose is then pulled through the machine, guided by the twine, ensuring correct routing. The hydraulic system needs to be refilled. This is done using a McNaught battery-powered bucket pump, which simplifies the transfer of Hy-Gard hydraulic fluid from a 5-gallon bucket into the skid steer's reservoir. The pump attaches to the bucket, and a gun-like nozzle dispenses the fluid. The system requires 4.5 gallons of fluid.

Goal: Replace the damaged hose and restore hydraulic fluid levels
