Hydraulic lines left open to weather?

looked like it had fittings on it to me. Its so simple though, if you had to replace the cylinder or lines and you had a couple of hundred dollars, you could replace them without much fanfare. If it is exposed, just flush it first, it will probably work. Did you win it?

I did not. There was a guy bidding that was determined to get it.

Instead, I contacted a dozer operator who is supposed to push these saplings out. $140/hr.
