Problem Solved!
Rookie mistake. After trying everything, carefully followed the lines and discovered one of the poppet style, not flat-face quick connect couplers between the Loader and the tractor had popped open but the poppet was still in the female end so it was still physically, but not functionally connected. I pulled it out, cleaned it and reconnected. Works fine now.

Embarrassing, but at least not expensive! Thanks to all who tried to help me out. One of the things that intimidated me about getting a tractor was the hydraulics. I am learning....

Put your ROPs up. Especially while carrying and/or on hilly ground.

And once it's up, fasten your seatbelt!
