Best Product for Anchoring New Hoses?

[jigs_n_fixtures]

I keep offcuts of 3/4 and 1-inch UHMW around to make things like theses clamps. Drill and chamfer the holes and then cut them in half. On many tractors, you can switch to longer bolts and install the new clamp over the top of existing ones on teh tractor. That is the TYM, factory method of securing third function hoses on their loaders.

What would be really nice is bulkhead fittings in a bracket that's bolted to the tractor. Then the couplers are supported which makes it easier to connect/disconnect.

I may be able to jam these things in between the tractor and the fender.

Just did remotes on my MF 1734E. Kit came with zip ties and the hoses came with anti abrasion wrap on them. The routing is under the seat away from the fenders.

I used the Surplus Center hose clamps for connecting my hydraulic lines from the grapple to my tractor. I did this 9 years ago and everything seems to be staying put. I added some details about sizing the clamps. Also I do not have an actuator on the loader joystick for the grapple. I use the remote lever to open and close the grapple. I have gotten used to that arrangement. I remember that the 2 lines alone were $300 and with the clamps and qd's I had approx. $400 in this modification. Attached details. I also add the original pictures for more clarity but without the verbiage.

This also makes them easier to break or rip the hose.

Then your hoses must be too short. My three-sets of couplers are mounted on brackets, and I've never had a problem. Soon to be a fourth.

I've done the same with "Trex" type plastic deck boards.

I use these insulated cable clamps:

They allow some movement as hose pressure varies, which prevents chaffing. They're made of stainless steel so they won't corrode. I use two side by side and share the same mounting hole for dual hose runs.
