hydraulic lines

How does one buy lines for attachments? Measure and buy pre-made or buy materials and make to fit?

Tractor Supply has them premade in various lengths. Am sure they are on the net but I haven't looked since TSC is just a few blocks away.

You can find a shop that will make up the lines to order while you wait.

Several of us who regularly build hydraulic projects use Discount Hydraulic Hose and highly recommend them. When dealing with DHH you get to talk to a human and the service is excellent. They have their catalogs on-line. Oh and they have posted here on TBN so make sure you mention TBN when talking to them.

The trick to determining the correct hose size is to use an old garden hose for a template. Route it exactly where your hoses will go then order the correct length hydraulic hose based on that template.

That's the ticket!!!!!
