What's an economical way to go about new hydraulic hoses?
I'm at the stage with my grapple build where I need to fit it up with hoses and I'm hoping some of you fellas with more experience than me in this area can advise me on a way to go about plumbing the hydraulics that is going to make efficient use of my hard-earned cash. When I rebuilt the loader on my tractor, I had a mobile hose van bloke come to me and fit it up and it cost me twice what he had estimated which was already too much. The grapple is going to need elbows and tees and connectors and it's all got to be threaded through SHS with bulkhead fittings to bring it out to the supply. Would I be best to take it to somewhere where I can walk back and forth from the counter until I have everything I need and then get them to crimp it up (I can see people getting impatient with that), or to give it to an Enzed shop or something? Buy lengths of hose and field-installed fittings?? Any advice is welcome as I know this could cost hundreds more than necessary if I go about it unwisely.
