Hose Routing: W.R. Long 3rd Function Kit

[jkcolo22]

So I picked up a W.R. Long 3rd Function Kit and I'm waiting on my EA grapple. I haven't seen any posts regarding this particular kit installed on the BX25D. Unlike other installations I have seen, the hoses from this kit go all the way to rear PB port, on the right side, rear of tractor (up by the 3point hitch). Other installs I have seen tap into the metal piping behind the right rear tire. Has anyone else done this install and how did you route? I got one hose through following a similar path of the wiring under the tractor, up to 3ph area--but it's a tight fit and I'm not sure I'll be able to get a second hose through. Looking for ideas...

Whatever path you take make sure it doesn't hit the fan, or any point where it can rub through the hoses.

Thanks. I think I found a decent path, but like I said, not sure I can get a second one through. How much flex will a hydraulic hose have when pressure is applied?

That depends on the bends/routing and the quality if the hose.

If you have a hydraulic shop close get the cloth hose cover and put it on and dont worry about what its rubbing its some good stuff. They also have ciled plastic guard its just harder to route takes away some of your flex.
