That looks right. So, I can use my existing chinese hoses and connect to ag couplers using this fitting... https://www.adaptall.com/products/Metric/din-tube/5007/5007L-12-06.php

Because I didn't like the price of the adapters and I have a hard time just tossing perfectly good (but weird connectored) hoses in the trash. If I could just adapt the hoses I have to NPT, I'd be golden. But, your suggestion is back-up plan #1. I was finding fittings at $10 each, but $20...

Surplus Supply is my go-to for most things. But they do not have metric fittings. If they did, they would be cheap and already on the way.

A little bit, but not really. It would appear that I would need an L18 to npt fitting, and while the thread size would be correct, nothing I have found yet tells me the dimensions where the 0-ring would seat. Only thing I find is how hard lines fit.

I'm adapting a chinese excavator smooth face tilt bucket to my Kubota BH92 backhoe. MEchanically, it actually was pretty easy. I'll document that success separately. Now I need to adapt the tilt cylinder hoses to common Ag couplers. Attached two pics. The first is the hose end. Can't...

Barndominium. When they leave, you get a heck of a shop with a mother-in-law apartment so they can come visit with the grandkids. Better yet. Tell them "Fly. Be free". Let them figure out life on their own.

Update: Got everything done but an insulated house of some kind. I went with a horizontal tank as it makes the house smaller. The service disconnect is a bit redundant as the power pole is 25 ft away and in sight. But, I needed a J-box anyway to split out the 120V utility circuit. The...

Would you have a link to such a dome? The wellhead doesn't need insulation. Just the nearby equipment. Wellhead has a pitless adapter 18" below grade. We get overnight Temps as low as the mid-teens, but not for long as the day heats up usually above freezing. Not worried about the...

Well, if there was a house nearby, you would have a point. There isn't.

Thanks for the ideas so far. I must have a pressure tank. This is not for open irrigation. It will support hose bibs, drip irrigation and such. I cannot bury anything. Here in east Tennessee, you hit rock quickly. For instance, my primary well is 5 ft of clay and 195 ft of limestone. :)

I have an adjacent second property that has a well that used to be for a mobile home that has long ago been removed. The well pumps just fine. If I recall correctly, it is a 1 HP pump in a 300 ft well. Somewhere around here, I have the original well report with the specifics...

I'm interested in this topic as well. My interest is not so much on alternate sized fittings, but in what tooling to use to flare stainless tubing? Most stuff I've seen does not seem geared to stainless lines. And some specifically say not to use on stainless. I would love to replace a few...

I've never seen it.

That has got to be the crappiest website I've ever seen. I have always supposed wolverine skid steer stuff was Chinese. The local ag auction house sells these. The auger drive with 12 and 18" augers generally sells at about $2500. For that price I'd rather buy something more known that I...

Not exactly a small tractor, but I pull a 7000 travel trailer up a 20% grade with a 48hp Hydrostat Kubota MX tractor. Never use the 3PH. Drawbar or FEL mounted hitch only.
