110 TLB power beyond/backhoe hose?

Well the pins maybe larger but the 485 attaches the same way as you described. On the 485 there are two hoses on the hoe which plug into the tractor. The PB loop that's pictures would only be connected when the hoe's off.

Guys,
I would like to take the hose pictured and put it on the backhoe. Then take the QD that's on backhoe and install on tractor. Now I will have two QD's on tractor and the two long hoses on backhoe. Then I will have a much shorter hose made to complete the Power beyond loop. Any opinions or suggestions?

The hoses are identical - the one on the tractor and the other hose on the backhoe - presently. They are carbon copies of one other! Same length - same male and female couplers. So, you don't really have to "move" any of the hoses.

Nonetheless, if I understand correctly... basically, you're planning to add a "quick disconnect" into the middle of a "newer-shorter" tractor loop that you could then connect the longer hose into from the backhoe. Is that correct?

That would give you a short hose on the tractor and a longer loop of hose on the backhoe. I don't imagine that would be a problem, at all. Just another couple of connectors.

Biggest issue would be to ensure that the total length of the loop would be sufficient to allow for easy disconnect and re-connect of the hoe.

Mechatgsk,

I'm attaching a picture of mine for you to see how the hose lays. Maybe you can loosen the end without the QD fitting, and swivel it so the hose lays in a different position?

I agree, I don't think you should shorten it.

Good Luck!

Why not just make one loop in that hose and connect it to the QD's. They make hoses with a smaller bend radius, and that would be ideal.

Good picture and this demonstrates the hose can be out of the way without modifications. I have my hoe on mine right now but haven't had any issues with this hose being in the way when using the 3PH. Setting your hose up as Ray has in this picture should solve your problems.

I changed my fittings out to do just exactly that. I have Qds on both tractor ports. I have a short hose that I use for mowing and have just reconfigured the hoe hoses to work when attached. I can take pictures if you like and send you a material list. The bulkhead fitting that the hose is currently attached to needs to be swapped to use the qds like you want. No big deal though. If you want pics, let me know and I'll go out and thake them.
