Had me worried ! I guess the system has to make that loop !
Yes, or you are deadheading the pump.
Which means the fluid has no where to go.
In the future, you should post these kinds of questions in the Massey Ferguson owning and operating forum. That's where all the GC owners are.
If they see your question faster, you may get help faster.

Yes, BH is in between PB port of FEL and 3PH.... With out BH connected or hoses being "looped" flow is restricted (non existent) ....

Dale,
When you loop the flow with BH off, does it matter which female you use with the male? There is two female and one male. I think one and red and the other blue zip ties.

Yes.... One female is for 3PH and one female goes to "tank".... Connect one combination up if 3PH does not work, switch combination....
Image is backhoe side, but it should be instructive....Once you have correct combination mark them for future...

Welcome to TBN,
If you have a Backhoe Operators Manual, refer to the section "Detaching Backhoe from Tractor", that should explain this very well a long with pictures.
On my GC2410, the "Sump" hose (tank hose) that is left with only the dust cover attached when the backhoe is off comes from the area just below the Hydraulic fluid filler neck is located.
