Random hydraulic questions

Nothing Oliver specific, but they came to mind after driving my 880 the other day. Which fired right up after an almost five month nap.
Is there a need to have a hose connecting the hydraulic hoses when they are not being used? I have dual hydraulics, one of which is used with the three point, but the other isn't hooked up all the time.
My loader, using a PTO pump, has a hose connecting the unused valve (no grapple). Which made me think of this question.
The other question, any reason not to use quick disconnect couplers on the PTO pump hoses? I think it would be easier to remove the pump when mowing versus hanging it out of the way. Thanks.

I would not use quick couplers to a pto pump, I would think it would restrict to flow too much, also for the input line you would need a very large coupler, if your pump created suction it would collapse the hose. my input hose to the pump is 1 1/2 inch soft line. I have 3 loaders with pto pumps with pto extensions and a bar down to the drawbar to hold the pump from turning. I have the hoses long enough to pull the pump off and set on the drawbar if I need to.
 
Thanks for the input. It was a random thought, I just need to figure out a better way to hang it when I'm running the mower.
