Several solutions that I've learned over the years.
Remove the loader during the heat of the day and install when cooler helps a lot.
A rag over the end of the coupler and then rap the end with a hammer relieves the pressure without damaging the coupler.
Do not bump the loader in any way while driving into it to hook up. If you move anything before hooking up the hydraulic lines you've pressurized some part of the hydraulics on the loader.
