<p>I have had so many leaks on hydraulic fittings the last 5 years
that I have no choice but to use the tape. I make sure that if I
remove a hose or fitting I clean out the port or the threads and
use new tape.. I even bought some blue teflon hydraulic paste
that was supposed to seal 10K psi. It still leaked. I converted
most of my loader hose fittings to NPT so I could use a universal
hose. I only keep NPT hose fittings to crimp on hoses when I make
my own hose. Most of the time I purchase a hose for the loaders
as I don't trust my crimping where I might have myself or anyone
under a lift... I try to never have anyone under a loader, but
crap happens. The closest scare I had was when a factory New
Holland top link broke while connected to a 3pt disk we were
working on. It broke the swivel end off at the tractor just as my
helper moved his foot from under a disk blade... <br>
