Best Product for Anchoring New Hoses?

Suburban Plowboy · Friday at 3:18 PM

Now that I'm installing rear remotes on my Kubota L3710, I have new hoses flopping around.

Before I spend all day Googling and hoping I come up with a good way to anchor them, is there some product out there that is generally considered best?

It looks like two hoses will have to run inside my rear fender, so I will definitely want to hold them away from the tire and brush.

They make a 2 hose clamp which has a single bolt in the middle. Sounds like that will work

Thanks. Any particular company?

That looks great. Thanks. And thanks for recommending Surplus Center. Might save a couple of dollars.

Surplus Center has been my go to place for hydraulic stuff for year

Yeah, but how do you buy just the thing you need there? It's like Costco. Hard to leave without buying junk you didn't know you wanted. It's the hydraulic candy store.

Amazon charges over twice as much for that clamp, I believe. Haven't checked shipping, though.

They usually require welding of the threaded base plate to the machine.
I don't see why you couldn't use a longer bolt than the one supplied and drill and nut into lighter metal such as the fenders you mentioned. Ideally you'd find a more inboard location.
Both rubber and wooden sticks are non magnetic, but those 2 sure attract each other!

Thanks for warning me. It thought it had a rubber base with a screw that went all the way through.

I don't think I want to try to weld thin sheet metal with my head between the fender and the manure-caked tire. Apart from the fun of trying to get in there, I would have to sand off a bunch of paint and redo it.

There isn't a ton of room between the fender and the tractor.

Welding seems like overkill for a clamp.

Interesting fact: the hoses on my loader just flop around loose. They have worn the paint off a few spots. I should figure out how to fasten them down. I'm pretty sure it's not a good idea to weld things to a cylinder's side.
