Who has a NH Workmaster 50/60/70 with 3rd valve function?

Is yours like mine & exposed underneath the tractor? This has aggravated me since I bought it, dealer said it's how the kit comes for the Workmaster and I'm just curious if anyone else is any different. You can see it exposed in the picture underneath the tractor just in front of the rear tire, sticks out like a sore thumb. I've been concerned at anytime something is going to snap this off.

Install a 90 or maybe even two 90s and at least get the hose up a couple of inches.

Can you loosen the 90 and turn it counterclockwise 90 degrees?

Don't remember mine being quite that low BMan when installed by the dealer. Never had an issue with it though. I would try to get it higher if possible. It should at least be as high as the lowest point on the tractor which is the drive line. At least they put a cover over it.

Good to know it doesn't look right to y'all either. I've looked into building a skid plate under the tractor and I have to go 2" farther down just because of this hose. It's definitely exposed.

Talked with the dealer today and he said this is how it's installed with the kit, all of them this way and if I wanted to modify go ahead. Well, I don't really know how. Lol. Purpose of my call.

Anyhow, here's a close up attached. What would you do or could I do?

Thanks

Not sure, but that would still leave it exposed badly if I understand your question right.

You need a 90* fitting that ideally will replace the 2 adaptor fittings that you have. But you may have to just replace the center fitting. Point the 90* adaptor inward and rotate the hose 90* and connect. The 90 on the hose will be pointing to the outside of the tractor when it connects to the new 90* fitting. This will put the hose higher and between the loader sub frame and the valve.

Thanks man. I guess I'll take this into a hydraulic shop and see if they can set me up.
