I would like to know, what would you suggest for hydraulic quick

McMaster carr has a lot of those types and I do not know which ones
would be most standard.

I don't have an answer, but one relevant search term is gladhands.

Generally gladhands are used for air lines. You definitely want
DIFFERENT ones for hydraulics.

The type used on farm equipment (quick disconnects) are pretty
reliable. Are you planning on a PTO hydraulic unit on the trans, an
engine driven (belt drive with electric clutch) or an
electro-hydraulic power unit?
