I rented a concrete breaker today and when I went to hook it up the hydraulic leads were a foot ish too short. I even tilted up in position, IE straight up and down, how I needed to use it but still too short. I have a CTL70, but I have had this problem before with rental equiptment. I ended up making a pair of extension hoses out of spare flat faced connectors and a 3 foot piece of hose. It is too long but it was what I had laying around. I will wind it up for a forgiveness loop. When I talked to the rental place they said that was how they recieved it from bobcat. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem? My mower leads were short until I made longer ones but that was a design. They dont want you to tilt it down where the blade is spinning in front of you.
