Welcome to farming! It took 40 years to standardize hydraulics to the ISO couplers- don't expect much more standardization soon. ISO does fit the old Pioneer found on many other implements, while IH and older JD had a different coupler. I run JD and AC, and use some adapter couplers, which have never caused a leakage problem, although certainly the potential is there. Any extra connection is a source of leaks. My three field tractors each have triple outlets, but I would never switch some and not all to a different style coupler. Too confusing- and if I pull a machine that needs two outlets, if one blows an o-ring in the field I can just plug in to the spare. Best to keep each tractor the same. Replacing barrels to the new style gets spendy- about $100 per pop. A half dozen adapters at $10-15 each is a good alternative.
