Bob - On the CK30, the hoses aren't coming off the valve, which is built into the right fender. The hoses come off the block that's just for connection. I think if they had put on rt angle connectors, it would have been more difficult to connect, and mybe not had enough slack to run it when you are attaching it. I agree that hoses that project up would really not be a problem as far as my uses go, even in the woods. But I also don't really like the way they look. In the end though, when it comes to tractors, what looks best is what works best!

Great thread Bob /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Here's my contribution:

JD 790 w/ 70 loader. C shaped light duty bucket. Contents sold seperately. Note that the 70 loader is no longer sold with the 790 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

And finally, the LH side showing the FEL connections which are behind the loader frame (protected) /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Rob, in your last picture that shows the connections on the left side of the frame . . . is that rigid pipe or is that hose that is shown to the right of the connections? It looks like pipe but I can't really tell. Do those connect up to hoses that run forward to power the loader?

I thought I'd throw in the little guy for comparisin too.

Tractor is a Kubota BX2230, Loader is the Kubota LA211 Loader.

This is the right side of the bucket, light duty, by definition.
