I usually get my hoses at the local Co-Op. If I recall correctly, about 5-6 months ago, I got a ~12' 3/8 with one straight & one right angle made up while I watched/waited for under $20. (I think it was $18 & change).I have had 2 hoses made at O'Reilly and am having massive sticker shock, wondering if they are intentionally fleecing me. The last one - 8' of 3/8" with 2 JIC fittings was $152. Does that sound right?
I was looking on Tractor Supply's website and I can buy an 8' section of 3/8" hydraulic hose with male NPT ends for $35, and two 3/8" female pipe x 3/8" female JIC swivel fittings for $20, totaling $55+ tax. I wanted to get some opinions. I did not realize I could get it from Tractor Supply until after I bought it and installed it.
Discount hydraulic hose will assemble hoses for a relatively small fee, the longer hoses will save you more as it's a flat fee and the price of the house itself is lower.I want to replace a quarter inch hose on my bush hog. About 10 foot in length. Local part store told me up front it run 10 dollars an inch. I declined. I’ll run it till something happens. May out last me
Several have mentioned it: Surplus Center. It's probably $40 max for a 10' 1/4" hose there. Your choice of NPT or JIC fittings. Worst case you add a couple additional fittings if you need elbows or something.I want to replace a quarter inch hose on my bush hog. About 10 foot in length.
