Hydraulic extension pipes for splitter?

[Ashes_Firewood]

No worries, I'll have to give them a ring. I was thinking it would be good if I had them long enough to be able to put the splitter to the front and side of the tractor then vented bag on the loader to throw the split logs straight in to. But it might get expensive having them that long

Quite, expensive, for good quality (Gates) hyd hose, per foot or per metre.

The fittings are relativly cheap though.

Standard 1/2" should be fine.

The key is the flow, which to drive a ram intermittently, and generally only partly "loaded" is not particularly significent.

imho

It's money well spent though, it will pay for itsel quickly and make your job easier.

Here's an idea on prices, your local hydraulics place will be similar:

Hoses:

Hydraulic Hose.

Couplers:

Quick Release Couplers for Hydraulic Services.

True, it would soon pay for itself in extra productivity. I'll have to get them priced up and see what the damage is!

bit late here but you could checkout your local hire shop, they replace the hoses on their hydraulic breaker power packs….. you can often get them for the asking or maybe a few quid…. they come with 1/2inch flat face connectors…. plenty big enough to run a splitter…. i run 2 conveyors on them,1 0n 3 lengths the other on 4…….. no noticeable drop compared to not using them…. so cheap and they come bonded together! so no tangled hoses to trip over…..
