You can get a hose jacket which would protect you if one would explode. Could you add another holder to hold them up higher?
They are not in the lower holder right now.
I think another holder in a better location than the factory one is something that should be done.
The floor boards are plastic and finding a spot to mount things is rough.
There is not alot of metal thats free from linkage etc.
I may just make a heavy stainless sheet metal guard that encloses the hoses and is removable.
As far as the jackets I did almost order hose jacket and I still might.
The hose is rated for 4000 psi which is almost twice the pressure the tractor produces, but accidents can happen.
I'll have to look into what a 50' roll would cost. Putting jacket on is easy enough to do after things are running.
We have 4-5 shops around here that make and sell hoses, jackets, fittings...
I'll just have to cut some zip ties to install them and I have plenty of those.
Also
I thought about putting a tee in the lines for the grapple front couplers and adding a second pair of outlets in the rear.
When i'm not using the grapple, I could have 2 useable pairs of outlets in the rear.
