Bought a used nh3 bar that has never seen a shed. Going to replace all the hyd hoses. Wondering if there's a place that specializes in hoses that are lots cheaper than local dealerships? Will be over 200 foot of hose. Thanks

I believe discounthydraulichose.com will make them to length with ends on them. Or now is a chance to find a good used hose machine and start making your own

The best place to buy hydraulic hoses is when someone has 20 hoses on Craigslist and wants a buck apiece. But that doesn't happen much.
Or when the factory foreman tells my friend to get rid of that tub of hoses and he calls me to come get them.
If you need custom lengths, put your dimensions in the calculator at Discount Hydraulic hose.com

I have also been very happy with "Discount Hydraulic hose". They have many options for ends, hose size, quality, etc.. So you will need to educate yourself on what ends you need.

In nebraska its Kelly supply, if you want quality hose. They have gates, top notch stuff. Don't waste your time with chinese hose, it isnt worth bringing home.

Made up hoses at the NAPA etc, do you find that they use bulky, heavy stiff hoses, nothing like the oem stuff. does discount hydraulics have hoses and fittings that match close to oem?

Not that there is anything wrong with what I have bought from discount hydraulic hose there hose might be and fittings for sure are China made. The fittings look like knock off Kurt fittings and they don't crimp as nice as the genuine Kurt fittings in our imperial Eastman crimper and they aren't any cheaper. Used to by Kurt fittings directly now they want me to go through KR Johnson in KC, KS. Farm stores work fine if they are standard ish hoses and ends.
