How We Make Our Own Hydraulic Hoses

[@garsox]

luv that radio on top of the crimper...you can turn it on and off... the good old days

[@chargermopar]

I used to collect discarded hoses from the hydraulic shops and cut the ferrules to reuse the fittings. Have had trouble finding ferrules lately but when I had them I would replace every hose on my skid steer and avoid a lot of issues! I kept the still good hoses as spares.

That's pretty smart right there

Well guys I know who to call on my Sunday breakdowns lol!!!!!

[@FarmerHunt]

😂😂 hydraulic hoses never seem to break when the stores are open so it’s nice to be able to make them

[@philipedwards8762]

Y’all getting close to that 3,000 subs mark!

[@FarmerHunt]

Getting close! Maybe we will hit 3k this month

I'll bet those numbers are 16ths of an inch. 8 is 1/2 or 8/16ths and so on. 16 is an inch, 16/16ths.

I was with your thumbnail, until you said" now I'm going to my friends house to use his industrial crimper".

[@FarmerHunt]

That's Eric's family's crimper

[@ggale2721]

@@FarmerHunt I appreciate that... The thing is the price of those crimpers start at around $5000 and go skywards afterwards.. I did enjoy your upload though..

[@FarmerHunt]

@@ggale2721 I am pretty sure Eric’s granddad is the one that bought it several years ago. Not sure what he gave for it though.

Can I use air hose for hydraulic hose

[@FarmerHunt]

Hydraulics run under much higher pressure. An air hose would probably just blow
