Hydraulic Hoses 101 - TMT 

I actually learned something today, thank you.

I ordered hydraulic lines from Messicks by Kubota part number. The fittings and length replaced perfectly. Shipped to my door. Only need to open hydrailic system once, no driving and waiting for hoses! Awesome product, and service! My local shop never got the length right, and the fittings did not fit in tight spaces like on backhoe valve spools. I have never owned or leased vehicles or equipment with as a high of a level of support and parts availability as I get from Kubota and Messicks. Hands down!

I really enjoy your channel chats, great succinct summaries, and tips! Thank you!

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Good info!! The plethora of fittings can be very over whelming if you don't know all the types and jargon. I usually take my old hoses or fittings to the local hydraulic shop, lay them on the counter, and tell them I need one of "these" that goes into one of "those" and they usually figure it out. :-)

a video on different types of hydraulic cylinders and systems would be cool

Glad to see mack from its always sunny finally quit the bar and got a real job

That was a nice Eaton Weatherhead setup there.

Learned a lot, thanks as always Neil...

Wow' I was told there was a lot of variations in the hose connectors, and though I probably had seen the majority of them. Having you just show some of them has opened up my eyes to how much I don't actually know. "You don't know what, or how much you don't know!" Thank you!

AN fittings are essentially JIC with the thread engagement a bit tighter on AN. cousin was an aircraft guy /farmer so worked with both

Your videos are a great resource!

Great video! I call JIC, flared, but thats my plumbing back-ground. Had to get a hose made the other day for an old Toyota Forklift and I think they said it was JIE, had to go to three different stores to find someone that had it and could make the hose, what a pain.

JIC fittings are where it’s at!

Good learning Video here I had A hose Blow out on my Backhoe Sat !

Hello chef im khalil from morocco ilike this work

Thanks Neil, I always learn something watching your videos. Keep up the good work !

I enjoy learning from your perspective and the videos you make are great! Please keep doing them.

Good day Nice interesting video. I'm from Ont. Canada. Small town called Elmira, my son was at thrift store and bought toy truck , 'Messicks' , heard from your friend OLF. I'm kinda surprized it got up in this part of world. Thanks for video, that is most confusing think, knowing right fittings. Thanks

Another well thought out and informative video. Thank You, wish I was located close to you.

You always have something interesting to say. Thanks.

Thanks ! I also learned a couple of things. Great info videos you are putting out.

Thank you very much , clear information that I was a bit fuzzy on before. I also can see why the price of hoses is what it is. That drawer cabinet must be worth thousands of dollars and it has to be refilled constantly .

This was very helpful. Thanks!!

Well Curt in Parts and myself have been going round and round with the fun British standard pipe fittings on the balewagons you should expand your video on all the different types of fittings you’ve just scratched the surface of the many that can be found on equipment these days

That is nice information to know about the hydraulic hoses and connectors and since I have two tractors and have been fortunate not to have had bad problems with it, but need to know about that. So far I have only had to replace the fuel line on my older tractor as it leaked on me. I had to learn about hydraulics while in the Air Force and worked on a trailer we used to load weapons with.

Thank you Sir!!

Very good video.. thanks man

THANK YOU!!

I wished I had seen this before installing my 3rd function valve last week . . .

Hey Neil, another great video! Do you plan on doing a how to video for measuring and cutting pto shafts? Just picked up a L3901 and a woodland mills wood chipper. Want to make sure I'm measuring right before I cut. Thanks

Thank you!

I always remove those and take it to my supply store to make shure I get an exact replacement

What’s the typical max pressures for a single wall and double hoses ? What are the max pressures for a compact and sub compact tractors?

If someone comes in for a hose replacement how do you know what fittings, go on each end based on the hose? Do you just copy what they had previously if they bring the broken one in? and if someone just comes in with no old hose but knows the type of hose length for someone that doesn't know anything about fittings and ends how do you know what fittings ect go on each end if they don't have the hose that needs replaced.

Above what PSI is generally considered high pressure (needing two wire hose)?

My grappler started to shoot out hydraulic oil during land clearing. Where do I start to troubleshoot shoot for a fix?

I would like to have a parts cabinet like that, what brand is that?

If there is a little tear in the first layer from a tree branch would you replace or just duck tape it and move on?? Not leaking at all On hydraulic line to grapple

Hi and thanks for that great vid. Can you tell what type of threads I going to find on the hydraulic bloc of my Kubota L2850D (1993), as the additonal ports a plugged and would like to run a valve- bloc. What kind of adaptor would you recommend? Converting to J.I.C. preferred in any case (tube or hose)? Regards Heinz

I have a Sany - do you have any info on the type of fittings these Chinese manufacturers use?

Do people use plumbers pipe tape on the threads of the hydraulic hoses?

How many of these Three Minute Thursday videos are actually three minutes?

Now I have to check my couplers for boogers...

Thanks! A maybe related question. Is there any major issue with connecting/disconnecting on a regular basis? I got a BX23s in the fall, and now in the spring between my landscaping work in the back yard and weekly mowing, I am removing and installing the FEL and BH pretty much every week. I worry about causing too much fatigue.

I've enjoyed watching many of your videos. But you are giving very poor information here. There are probably a dozen different thread fitting standards in common use in ag equipment.

first! bam!! thanks for the great videos! any chance you can talk about the backhoe options for a bx1850?

My BX25D is just 3 years old and I have had to replace 4 hoses so far due to leaks. Not the best hoses at all. Not impressed

Am I the only female watching this lol
