The 60" Markham LD Grapple I ordered is supposed to come with the short hoses included. I never asked how long they'd be...Anyone know how long the "included" hoses are???
BTW - Your use of cord, and zip-ties, is considered "art" in some areas around these parts

My grapple's supposed to arrive sometime next week...
Thanks,

That is one reason why I told Melissa NOT to include hoses with mine, I wanted to measure and get ones that fit perfect-I also sleeved then together.
To get a perfect fit you are correct but I'd imagine you spent about $30-50 extra on hose and fittings at a local hydraulic shop that you could have had gratis. Seems to me unless they knock of some cost it would be reasonable to take the freebies and see if they fit (or if you can live with them) and at the very least you will have a spare set in case you bust one some day. I found these hoses to be the most vulnerable so it is nice to have a spare set.
Markham (Melissa) deducted $50 NOT to include hoses and QD's(SS style-couldn't use them anyway),.
That's fair.
Not sure why Markham continues to provide SS flat style quick connects though when most almost all tractors use the other style.
