I need to know how to keep my hoses from getting pinched. Is there some type of sleeve or armor you can put over them. They are getting beat up when they are pinched by the loader hydraulic ram. Please let me know if you have a fix. Thanks

From what I see in the picture,. I'd install 90' elbows just after the quick disconnects on the grapple side. It should keep them further from harm's way.

I had the same problem the first time I used mine. But I have the single ram in the middle. The hoses were wrapped in a heavy duty plastic coil that saved them (temporary) from destruction. The required routing left a fairly hard bend near the ram. When tilting from full downwards to full upwards the hoses would work their way into the ram. Tie wrapping the hoses out of the way would not allow for the needed movement. I was able to insert a steel rod about 8” long into the bundle and tightened it up with electrical tape. That allowed the needed movement of the hydraulic hoses, but lessened the bend enough to keep it from pinching. Not sure if that would work for you, but something to think about......

Exactly. I modified mine with a different bracket.....

You _might_ have an easy, zero buck solution....
Can you simply remount the quickconnects onto the bracket closest to the right side of the frame? Currently the hoses go through it,so I'm thinking it's the same bracket as the 'center' one.

Flip, Kenny advertises here for the purpose of generating business. He's not limited to any one location. It's his business to do as he chooses.

Your comment is way out of line!!

Not enough business on TBYN?
I agree with D2Cat, Sidecarflip you're comment is rude and out of line.
Please don't respond back on here.

We here at OTT appreciate Kenny (aka Bolt on Hooks, http://www.boltonhooks.com/) being on here and helping our members out when he can!
If we push away quality members like this where would we be?


Mod Note: I would have just deleted Sidecarflips comment, but others had quoted on it before i seen it.

One way to think about it is some pay for advertising with "Barter" .... advertising in trade for being a VERY positive, fruitfull, helpful member of longstanding. Often even before they grew a small biz out of their tractor knowledge.

Others pay for advertising in some dollar and cents form. Thus yes.. everyone does pay in one form or another for advertising privilege.

Keep posting Kenny, you have helped a lot of people with your knowledge of hydraulics and available products that many people may not be aware of otherwise.

I'd use 1/4" hoses, a bit longer and with some fittings so they lay better.

We also have the Hose Tamer on our website that is just like what was mentioned above that's used on truck. We also have the DuraWrap sleeving to help protect them.

Thanks for the response, need to look at the tractor this weekend and see if this is the answer to my issue as well. BTW, I need to order a few parts from you, love the expanded product set.

I have the exact same set up, I just removed the 2 90 degree fittings where the hoses attach to the grapple and connected the hoses straight to the grapple fittings. That corrected the pinch and rub issues for me.
