Hydraulic hoses

[vep122]

Hello all,
I have 2014 Cs2410 with loader and hoe.
I blew the pressure hydraulic hose that goes from the pump to the rear of the tractor. Does Kioti use metric thread on their hydraulic hoses?
Thanks...Vic

The Pressure Hose connections from the 90degree elbow at the bottom of the hydraulic pump are BSPP 3/8, both ends.

Hope this helps..

As added trivia, all the hydraulic connections on my KL451 loader were also 3/8 BSPP.
BSPP uses the same thread and "cone angle" as JIS but the "cone" is on the other fitting (i.e.male) from JIS.

Just to avoid any confusion, when we said BSPP, that is our reference to "British Parallel Pipe", Similar to NPT, but there isn't a taper to the threads. The seal is on the inside of the fitting, but it is not a JIC 37 Cone Fitting. JIC is a different Type of fitting. The hose is question on the CS Series tractors is BSPP 3/8. The KL401 Loader used JIC 6 Fittings, they are different. Sorry if we caused any confusion.

There is certainly opportunity for confusion on these many different fittings. Discount Hydraulics has a great guide you can download free: Discount Hydraulics Thread Guide

I found it very useful (invaluable, actually).

I've done this before, but I'd like to post another "Thank You" to MIE for participating on this board. Not many dealers take the time to do this, and this type of input is very much appreciated. :thumbsup:

Ritcheyvs, thanks for reposting the link to that hydraulic fitting and thread guide. I downloaded it back in 2014, and it is indeed very useful.

Seems there's always a hydraulic shop around than can readily make up new hoses. Just pull and they can duplicate (nothing unusual about Kioti). I've discovered that once shipping charges are added in that the on-line prices aren't any cheaper: local means you let the local pros remove the chance for error.

I had to get a hose made for my FEL and it was metric and a small hose cost me over $100. (I took it off and took it to the shop)

AU$? So, about $75US. Still, ouch!

Yep! It hurt. I keep looking at the rest of them and wondering if I should get a new tractor before they pop.

Hoses are relatively cheap.

Hoses are relatively cheap.

Relative being the operative term.

No affiliation other than customer, but you can go to the Discount Hydraulics web site and get their price on custom hoses. You select fittings, hose type and length. There is an additional charge (in addition to hose and fittings) for assembly. That will give you a price to compare with other sources. They deliver in a few days, in my experience.

I've bought from Discount Hydraulics (good experience with them), but that was for several hoses and fittings (new install). When looking to replace a hose (which I later found out was OK [resolvable fitting issue and not the hose]) I discovered that, when adding in shipping, it wasn't sufficiently cheaper than having a hose built locally (walk in, hand them a hose and tell them to make a new one- in a few minutes they walk out with your new hose!).

I replaced 6 of my 8 front FEL hoses toady on my smaller Kubota (2 had been replaced recently). I ordered per the Kubota part number from GoldenEagledirect.com and could not be more happy compared to sourcing locally after buying or specifying all the fittings. The hoses were about $15 +/- each, a bargain in my book for factory Kubota spec hoses. I have another Kubota FEL that I need to do the same thing with.

 

[goeduck]

^^^ to add a point, in the past I have spent a lot of time measuring, selecting fittings and having hoses made. It sure was a lot easier to just order spec hoses from golden eagle. Hoses were perfectly sized, inexpensive and carried the Kubota part number. Not something I thought I would ever find.

Have to remember these sources. My hoses are still relatively new, but the previous owner did leave the tractor out in the sun. I'm sure that shortens the hose life somewhat.

Besides keeping the tractor under cover when not in use, does anyone know a good way to protect the rubber? I used 303 Protectant on my car tires. Think I can do the same with the hoses...

An old thread but this fall my 2015 cs2410 pressure hose developed a leak and found in the dealer installation that the 900psi return hose was on the pressure side. Had naps build a high pressure hose.
