Thanks for the feedback. We weren't certain the hoses would have enough length to connect them together, but considered it.
The best solution is likely to get a couple pairs of caps and plugs and attach those as soon as we disconnect everything.

Hi there... I am going to remove my tilt cylinder and take it out for rebuild. Is best practice to cap/plug the hydraulic hoses? Can I connect them together?
Just want to be prepared with the necessary items if needed, and in the big picture learn from others as to not cause more problems...
