Hydraulic Hose Guard

   / Hydraulic Hose Guard #11  
With quick connectors that's easy. Hoses going from a pump to motors, for example, aren't removed so easily.
Just takes a wrench to remove a hose end fitting.

I got a roll of 1" black nylon hose protector on Amazon:

Electriduct 1" Nylon Protective Hose Sleeve - 25 Feet - Black - $30.00​

Then whether I use OEM or have replacement hoses made locally, I simply slip a length of this nylon over the hose and zip tie it to the metal ends before reinstalling. It makes hoses last twice as long.
The trick - for me at any rate - is to have is to have a roll of it on hand. You can buy it OEM on some hoses - for about 4x the cost.
Log loaders get severe use. Around the grapple they use a heavy plastic spiral wrap.

My tractor and loader came with that fabric hose protector on all of the hoses.

Good planning. McCarr has this under "Abrasion resistant sleeving". I keep a selection of sizes on hand for a variety of protective uses, including hydraulics. My favorite positive is that it will stop a hydraulic fluid jet if the hose ever ruptures.

I used the spiral hose wrap - like Big Barn pictured. Purchased at local "hydraulics shop" - House of Hose, Spokane, WA. Used on all exposed hydraulic hose.

Here's some spiral, at close to the same price. A big advantage of the spiral is that it can be applied while the hose is installed.
That's where I got mine for the Grapple hoses,
