The hydraulic hose at the rear of my L3800 sprung a leak, exactly where the 3PH upper arm tends to hit it. It needs to be replaced. I made an emergency patch with some silicone and electrical tape, but that was just to get it back into the shed... The rear end of the hose has a...

Does anyone here have the Horst HLA 1000 series quick-attach snow blade to go with their L3800? What width did you end up going with, and how's that working out for you?
