Your tractor is somewhere between 10 and 16 years old.
Are those hoses cracked/damaged, and/or dried out?
In the photo they just look dusty/dirty.
Do you live far from a location where you could get hose replacements made, if you needed to do so quickly?
Do you keep a spare gallon or two of SUDT-2 hydraulic fluid on hand?

Just 1 hose has a little rubbing on the rubber part that goes through the guide hooks. I just want to be prepared if I have to replace it in the middle of a snow storm. I live close to a dealership/ hose shop but I’m not entirely sure how I would describe what I need over the phone.

Go to the Messick's (PA dealer) parts website, and lo
You should be able to find a Kubota part number for the hose you are concerned about.
Then order it from your local dealer.
Take it home, and check it by holding it against your old hose.
Hydraulic hoses are very tough, so it is likely that your hose is still OK, but I do understand your desire to replace it.

Other than a good pressure-washer-rinse……Leave ‘em alone.
This is one of those things that “if it ain’t broke…. don’t fix it”….. You are not likely to have any problems with those hoses within your ownership period.

I agree if not broke don't fix it. but if still want to you can mark each hose as you take off 1, 2 ETC. with tape to where connection was.
Last week in the freezing weather I busted a hose on my loader tractor when I wanted to move some hay.
It's the original hose. It's 67 years old!
I suggest, do as advised. Quit worrying about it.
