Hydraulic fault light is on, system losing pressure and function.
Drained fluid to clean filter and found all sorts of foreign material blocking filler and massive pieces of thin gasket like material in the filler bowl. Big pieces have waffle pattern in them
Just shy of 2000 hours, original owner all maintenance completed as required.

Breaks stop tractor but not holding on a steep grade even after adjusting.
Not sure if all this material is from the brake pads?

Tractor has Wet Brakes, not sure what that means as I do not have the factory service manual to see how they work.

Any idea what all the foreign material might be?

The waffle shape on the brown bits is definitely friction material and from your description, most likely brakes. What is the jelly like substance in the filter cap? Might be wrong type of oil causing this.
