Hydraulic hose protection?

[Doc_Bob]

I have numerous hydraulic hoses running all over my TN 70A. I would love to "protect" them from wear and tear such as rubbing against metal edges, sticks, and other stuff that wants to wear the hoses out early. Any ideas of what I can wrap around these hoses to protect them that will look good doing it? Something that will look professional, with a clean appearance. Any commercial products?

Go to www.DiscountHydraulicHose.com and choose "sleeving" from their menu. You probably want the nylon abrasion sleeving. That is what you see on most tractors.

Thanks. Looks like I have to remove the hoses to use the nylon. They also have a plastic coil product in their catalog pdf (not online) that looks like it does not require removing the hoses.

I have found Bob that most things that are worthwhile don't come easily or without some labor. We used some of the anti-abrasion sleeve on the hydraulic hoses for our grapple.

Yep, one hose on my hoe wasn't protected and rubbing on the hole in the dipper, and I just slit some small heater hose. Hose sheath works well for elec cables, air shock tubing, lotsa things ... cheap and easy to use. Radiator hose works well for a bundle of hoses ...

Another inexpensive option is split loom. You won't have to remove the hoses so it's easy to install but it isn't the strongest material. Here is a link.

Looks good, easy, cheap and will take any wear and then show it.
