[QUOTE="SlowDave, post: 120740, member: 21901"] I replaced several hoses with the generic hoses from Tractor Supply on a cheap Chinese tractor and back hoe. I figured anything would be better than what it came with. However, after a few years the tractor supply hoses looked worse than the remaining original hoses on the machine. On top of that I had to use adaptor fittings to adapt to the hyraulic fittings for the IPS threads on the Tractor Supply hoses. It really turned out to be false economy, live and learn. Sometimes you can find aftermarket hoses that are of reasonable quality and are made for your specific machine. I have one sitting in the shop right now that I purchased for a Koyker loader for $39, at the hose shop it seems like every hose costs at least $100. I have even teased the guys there that they should have a jar of Vaseline on the counter for customer use before they hand them the bill. [/QUOTE]
