Kioti 3510 SE (any compact Kioti) hydraulic hose question for TnT.

[_RaT_]

Have any of you utilized the existing hydraulic power on the Kioti SE models or added it to models that don't come with it? If so, the couplings are 1/2" and I am considering bushing them down to 3/8" simply to eliminate stiffer and huge hoses for something like a set of TnT cylinders that I suspect will work fine on smaller hoses.

Size of the couplers has nothing to do with the size of the hose. It is no problem having 1/4" hose with 1/2" couplers.

Also there are different types of hoses that bend easier.

The hoses that I provide for most of my T&T sets are 3/8" R17 hoses. The 3/8" hose takes a lot more abuse vs 1/4" hose.
