Urathene hose for a lawn vacuum cart

[joes_427_vette]

I have just purchased an Easy Vac trailer lawn vacuum system with an eight horse Briggs engine. The hoses are deteriated, very light weight, and require replacement. Anyone have experience on a particular brand that would hold up for years to come ? Any wall thickness I should be aware of or criteria to base quality ? I currently have 7" diameter hose. Examples I have viewed are not cheap. thanks

A while back 7 years or so I took a piece of my 6" hose from my Trac-Vac to Chamberline rubber store in Rochester New York.They sold me some tubing they had, it was reasonable I think it was urethane or something. Has a wire in it too. And I still have it in use.I'm sure there is better hose materials now but I didn't need the best.

I bought a bunch of hose from Wynn Enviromental when I built my dust collection system...Great people to deal with. Big hose is NOT cheap.

I ordered mine at tractor supply co. Not cheap. I looked around. All are about the same price wise for the same kind of hose. Difficult to tell about quality sometimes. One trade-off will be stiffness over temperature vs. durability vs. price. I'd just get what the OEM says to get.
