Hey, bender, your hose looks better under the deck. But I wonder if your DCV fittings wouldn't be better turned up rather than down. They look like they'd snag.
Mine are turned up...

Sure like the color of your machine... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Now that you mention it, I probably put them on wrong when I last reinstalled things. Thanks for the pointer. I appreciate it. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Kubota would NEVER run hoses OVER the floor or should I say my dealer. I'd never take delivery if they did and I'd ask them if they were dummies or what?

Why would you call a Kubota Dealer a Dummy? He might like it!

Just kidding, Darryl /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Even Kubota dealers are at the mercy of the techs they hire. Our local Kubota dealer is truly awful and I'm sure they would have no problem running hoses over the floorboard and then tell the customer with a straight face that that's the way it should be done. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Farmers, just like consumers will believe anything, especially if the dealer tells them it's the way to go. Most mechanics have their own way of doing things, that is no exception for the mechanic who assembles your tractor. An example of this is when I took delivery of my 5030, the mechanic installed the FEL actuator lever in the cab with the attachment bolt ends pointing inside instead of the heads inside and ends outside, under the fender where they belong. The first time I got in the tractor, I bloddied my knee on bolt ends sticking in the cab. Changed those right away.
