Tim works through the actual swap with a helper, covering the two kit variations (for tractors with or without an existing connector), fitting and routing hoses, adapters, and a compatibility warning for 2023-and-newer models with factory hard lines. Most useful for 1025R owners planning this specific upgrade.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, with a sponsored relationship with Discount Hydraulic Hose, which supplies parts used in this video.
No, tractors with factory installed four port hard lines running the full length don't have a kit available yet, and fitting hard lines was difficult in testing.
It depends on the kit variation. Variation one reuses the existing four hoses, while variation three includes six new hoses with ORB on one end and JIC on the other.
Both work fine. The 45s give more flexibility in routing but can be more in the way, while straight connectors sit flatter and look cleaner.
