Front hydraulic hookup

Does anybody have any pictures of how they ran hoses to the front of the loader for powering post hole diggers,ect. on a class 3 boomer. I purchased a grapple today and would like to get some ideas of hose routing and so on

New holland offers a nice neat hose kit from the rear couplers to the front for about 200.00 made to fit your tractor.

Kevin, Which grapple attachment did you buy? I have the Worksaver model for my TC40D and think its the most usefull tool I've ever owned.

Thanks so much. I had been looking around for a Ridgid 408 tubing bender to bend some 1/2" steel tubing to run lines to the front, but after you add up all the parts and the bender, the $219 is probably cheaper.

Your right! I was cheap today and thought that was a lot of money for the kit so I called our local ind. supply and told him I needed a price on a pair of 18' hoses and he told me about 75.00 so I went there and had them made when I got the bill it was 150.00 /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif (he quoted me by the piece, not pair) so by the time I will be done I will be within 20.00 of the new holland kit.
