If I understand this correctly the current line is fed from 20 ft of 5/8 line and the new line will be fed from 6 inch of 5/8 line. Therefore, the new line will have less resriction than your current line. From my Cameron Hydraulic Data book assuming a flow rate of 10 GPM; a 5/8 copper line (.652 ID) will result in head loss of 73 ft per 100 ft of line: a 3/4 copper line (.745 ID) at 10 GPM will result in a head loss of 38 ft per 100 ft of line. To determine head loss in PSI divide by 2.31.
Since we don't know source pressure or flow rate one can not determine pressure loss. If you can tap into the 5/8 line and determine the flow rate (GPM) we can determine the head loss and sizing for the backup line at that flow rate. If that is not possible just tell us your "died and gone to heaven flow rate" (GPM) and we can size the line for that. To measure the flow rate just run the water into a 5 gallon bucket and record the time to fill.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
