3rd function, remotes, and top and tilt

[Firekracker50]

Well verdict is i dont love it. But I think it might work. The hoses from the valve to the remote mount on rops is nearly too short. I would have liked to mounted them higher but there just isnt enough hose.
Also the rops mount doesnt seem to want to stay put very well its as tight as it will get. In fact the back plate bent in ward while tightening. And it still want to twist on the rops.
And the hoses summit sent with the cylinder and too long to be able to manage well. But here's the pics.

Thats a different bracket than the one my kubota dealer sold me. Mines angles and prints show it mounted where I have it.

You might see if adding a 90 degree fitting at the upper coupler end on the hose would work better than just straight out. Then you can go upwards and loop back down to the cylinder connector.

 

[Firekracker50]

I may try some more fitting arrangements to get it better.

Whats the best most durable hydraulic hose protection? If you can share link to order even better.

 

[Russell King]

Kevlar is the “most durable”

Nylon is (probably) more commonly used.

 

[Firekracker50]

What about this stuff?

[Daferris]

I use something like this on my hoses.
They come in different sizes and lengths. This is just an example...

Shorten the hoses and/or relocate the outlets.

Over the years I have used a lot of hose protector from Surplus Center in Lincoln Nebraska. One stock number I carry at the farm is 904583. If it was me I would relocate those outlets to a different location. Your going to need some more hoses and fittings.

I agree, install 90s at the coupler ends and have the hoses point upward similar to what is on the John Deere pictured. The hoses are plenty long enough for this not to be an issue.

There is no good reason to make this harder-more costly than it needs to be.

 

[Firekracker50]

Ill give e the 90s a shot and see how that works out.

I have the same OEM remote bracket, but haven't installed yet. Waiting on more parts. Does your quick hitch interfere with the lowest pair of couplers with hoses attached on the bracket?

 

[Firekracker50]

Yes it would.

 

[midironman]

Yes it would.

Ok tks. Gotta figure out a better place for it.

How long are the hoses from the valve to outlets?

Dan

 

[Firekracker50]

The valve to outlet hoses i think are 26 and 29inches. They are a lot shorter than they should have been. If they were 29 and 32inches then you could mount the outlets higher on the rops and eliminate most if the problems.

Dan

I'm doing something a little different than the OP. He's got the entire OEM setup where I'm running a Summit monoblock and having hoses cut. I just purchased the OEM bracket to give me a place to mount the couplers.

Longer hoses are not expensive.
