Hi guys,
I have a bobcat s175 at work and every time I put my snow plow attachment on it I blow hydraulic hoses like crazy. I'm replacing them with 4000psi hoses from a local shop but after putting a new hose on I only get about 2-3 hours of run time before they blow again, sometimes even less. All of our other attachments (grapple, bucket, snowblower) all work great and never blow hoses, but the snowplow has gone through 8 in the last month. The lines are routed correctly and I run fire hose around the outside of the lines so I know they're not rubbing on anything. I'm brand new to working on bobcats so I was curious if there could be something wrong with the attachment itself or if there's a pressure regulation issue with the machine? Thanks in advance
