Hydraulic Hoses--Are They Expensive In Your Area?

[WilliamBos]

Yes. They treated me very well on my first hydraulic project when I needed lots of help. I keep going back, they keep treating me well.

Same here. I love Princess Auto. They some how find a way to keep outdoing themselves. That is probably why I live there!!

Good Evenin Oleozz,
A couple of years ago I had a 4 ft line rust through on my Massey. It was on the front of my loader, and the previous tractor owner used the machine to load mulch. Some of the mulch got caught on the front of the loader and one line just rotted out. I went with a flexable line replacement, so I didnt have to do any fancy measuring to replace. I went to Salem Farm Supply in Salem, Ny. They made a replacement line and I also bought 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid for about $40 total. Im thinking it was about 3 years ago. Their prices were quite fair IMHO !

Call the police!!! Someone robbed the Salem Farm Supply store!

If I could even get three gallons of hydraulic fluid for $40 I would be impressed. Somebody made a mistake some where along the line.

Good Evenin Rick,
Well I cant very well argue about todays oil prices, or for that matter anything manufactured from oil today.I made a mistake on the amount of oil ! It was 2 1/2 gal container ! But I stand by what I said about the price, in fact I looked it up and it was $38 and change. One 4ft section of hose and two fittings plus 2 1/2 gals of hydraulic oil. Sorry about the typo ! Oh yes 3 1/2 years ago !

Good Evenin pitt_md,
Sheesh you guys are tough, I made the correction last night !

Wedge40, thanks for commin to my rescue !

I am a PowerFist guy myself like the other Canucks here! A Princess Auto store opened up not 10 minutes from me and boy have I spent a lot of money there!

I got my hoses done at a local hydraulic shop and it did cost me a bundle but the guy spent like an hour with me getting all the fittings right. It was well worth the extra I spent on a first project. I could not stomach the cost of the QA adapters from them however and bought plain old Pioneer ones from PA. I think theirs might have been the fancy connect under pressure type.

If I had to do another hydraulics project, I'd go to PA now that am relatively confident with what I would need. For that first project, the local hydraulics shop was worth every extra penny.

I guess you are talkin' about that sweet Newmarket store?? It is was nicer than Barrie, and the service there is even better too!!

 

[canoetrpr]

WilliamBros - yeah that is the one! I used to drive up to Barrie before but that store used to be out of stock more than normal. This one is great!

They still do run out of stock on things from time to time though.

They guy in Barrie told me they DO NOT stock 37 degree JIC, yet Newmarket has it on the shelf. Strange eh? I think Newmarket will be getting alot more of my money than Barrie.

Once the TSC in Bradford is built, I will be really happy!!

 

[canoetrpr]

Will - did you say TSC in BRADFORD???? Where?

I'm so excited, I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep! I used to go to Orangeville every week for dog training but I don't belong to the club there anymore. I think I used to stop at the TSC there every time I went!

This is GREAT news! I'm going to be able to buy welding supplies nearby once they are here as well. Ended up ordering tips for my Millermatic on Ebay to save myself the trip to the LWS in Concord. The Hobart tips that TSC carries, fit the Miller guns perfectly.
