The length of the hose is VERY important,, also,,,

If the suction line is 4 inches long, 1/2" is probably big enough,, 24 inches, 3/4" is probably OK,,

If your pump is 6 GPM or more, and the suction line is 4 feet long,, you may need a 1" ID suction line,,

How long is your suction hose? That kinda dictates hose inside diameter,,

What type of hydraulic oil did you use? That matters a lot also,,,

a 10W oil will flow easier than a 30W oil,,,
