Got my new Titan grapple in and now I need to order two hydraulic hoses to run from the rear remotes to the grapple on my 2006 DK45S. I measured the distance needed with a garden hose so I could route it as I will the hydraulic hoses and then measure how long I need. I do have a few questions for those that have done this as I am new to this process.
What is the name of the connectors I need for the rear remotes? The hydraulic shop needs to know this to put the right connectors on the hoses.
I know the grapple hoses are 1/2" Flat Faced Parker Style hoses - but one is male and one is female. Do I need to ensure a specific hose gets hooked to a specific port on the rear of the tractor?
When I measured the length needed - I went from the rear remotes to the middle of the lift arms (to the front, in between the arms). Does this sound right? Came to 17 ft.
What PSI rating should I get for these hoses?
What is the approximate costs I should be paying - the local guy quoted me "about" $150 each hose - that is a tad over $300 for the pair - does this sound about right?
Sorry for the newbie questions - but my previous tractors are antiques and I have never dealt with this before.
