Rear hydraulic line mysteriously disconnected?

Hey all, I hope you guys had a great turkey day. This morning as I was getting ready to use my Massey Ferguson 1240 to lift an engine to the other side of our barn I had an issue with the front 1246 loader. It was only going up maybe 1/2 way then getting stuck. It's a crisp 32° here in Michigan so I figured frozen fluid and let it warm up a bit more. But still nothin. I then decided to do a walk around and check for leaks and when I made it to the rear of the tractor I discovered that one of my four lines was disconnected. It is a ball bearing connection that's covered so I'm very confused on how this happened. Got it fixed with pliers and a hammer but I'm wondering what I should do to prevent this from happening again?
