Both hydraulic hoses to the tilt/croud ram only last 3000 hours approx including the first day originals. 16000 hours on have lost enough time,oil and hose to them. Has any one else this problem or a nifty solution? The weld between the ram base and barrel has also cracked in 3 different places in the last 6000 hours. But she works fair hard.

The pressure is not the problem here,its the extreme bending of inch hose during operation.
