Plus I had plenty of room for a rigid 90° elbow I'm not sure why New Holland thought there needed to be swivels.   I had them make the hose a little bit longer includes the swivels were to handle some movement in the hydraulic line.

So I put a pipe wrench on it, and this time used  a 4' pipe (used 2' before) on the pipe wrench handle and put everything I had on it.   Still nothing. So I tried the other one. That one came loose. So I went back to the first one.  I basically had to lunge at it -  it finally broke free.
