What are the pros and cons of the different types of hydraulic fittings? I recently upgraded to a tractor with hydraulics, a 4020 with two SCVs. I also purchased a used hydraulic post driver. It has Pioneer fittings, so I can either get some crossover Deere male to Pioneer female adaptors, or replace the Pioneer male ends on the post driver with Deere. But I would appreciate some comments on the different types before I start spending money. I assume that some are easier to attach / detach, some probably leak less than others, some are cheaper, etc. Since the 4020 uses the Deere cone type couplings, I am stuck with that at the tractor. But what would be better, go with adaptors from Deere to ???, or use all Deere? What do the new John Deere tractors use? Is Pioneer the standard? I assume that ISO fittings are newer, should I make that my standard? I would appreciate any comments.
