While using our new Virnig brush cutter for the first time, after about an hour, it either blew a hose or we snagged it on something and tore it. The brush cutter attachment is new to us and we were surprised how hot the hydraulic lines were when we tried to disconnect them. Our machine flow is 24 and the cutter is rated for a max of 25. Pretty sure it blew all the oil out, it is not visible in the site glass.

-Is it possible the fluid over heated and/or over pressured and blew the hose?
-How hot should the hydraulic fluid get going to the brush cutter?
-For our Texas temps, the book suggests Tutela Auto Supreme Engine Oil ASE 10W-30, is that correct, engine oil?
-What are my options for an alternate oil if I can't get this Tutela?
-Will I be able to just fill the reservoir and go or will I need to bleed air or perform any other procedure?

Thanks, Kevin
