I have a 1996 B-2150 HSD with 300 hours. The owners manual says to replace the hydraulic hoses every 2-3 years (cannot remember the exact time frame). Do they really need to be replaced that often? Should they only be replaced if they are severly worn (from rubbing together)...or do they wear from the inside and show no apparent failure potential from the outside? The hoses on my loader look fine. I have never replaced my hoses. I am especially concerned about the rubber hydraulic hose on the rh side of the tractor that connects two steel hydraulic lines together, it appears to have surface cracks and splits on the outside layers.
