One of the main areas of concern when buying premade hydraulic hose assemblies is the standard ends the hoses come with do not match the ends on the hose you are replacing.
this problem can be solved by using steel hydraulic adaptors.
the most common hose ends by far for farm equipment are 3/8 male npt and 1/2 npt. if the hose that needs replacing comes with these ends then you can just use the standard premade hydraulic hoses that come with these ends.
other common hose ends are:
1) 1/2 npt ends on 3/8 hose assembly
