I've never dealt with them and from their web site I'm leery to do so.
There is no location given on where they are from, no contact person to talk to and a toll free number.
Unless they have something to show that they are a ligitimate company with an actual location they are working out of and someone you could grab by the throat if things go wrong I would shy away.
More than likely you can find what you want somewhere closer to where you live.
Good Luck!

Have never dealt with them and have always used Allied.
But from looking at their website, they seem alright.
I read the "about us" page and they have been around for over 10 years now and are growing. Looked at the "kit features" and "components" pages, and everything looks good and I like their cast clamps for the tubing. Also their autolube systems look interesting, I like the Flowmaster pump that sit on top of a 5 gallon bucket.
Get a quote from both them and Allied.

HCT is in Georgia. They are a reputable company and supply aux hyd likts for excavators. Their main competition is HKX in Washington State. Both offer quality kits but HKX is imho the better of the two. HKX kits are literally paint by numbers making them the easiest to install. The kits are almost always 100% complete making installation a one stop shopping experience. I have installed kits from both and find the HKX kit superior

Yes I have dealt with them before on numerous occasions with great results , pricing was the best I could find , timely delivery with 3 -5 days to leave the plant , very nice kits of good quality materials , good instructions and the few times I had to call for some assistance when installing kit they were very helpful and got me thru the problem , I recently put a wet kit on a Kobelco 115 and they were the only company that could or would do it ,it's up and running , all the other companys including the dealer said it could not be done on that machine , most recently a kit for an old Kobelco 907 is in transit and I will probally be installing it this coming week , they are a first class operation , nothing but good to say about them , I dealt with Bob Hodson , a very nice and well informed guy

Yes the brackets to hold the tubing had to be welded , and the tubing was not painted , everything needed is there , to give you an idea of cost a kobelco 115 complete kit was $3,300 and took 7 working days to get it shipped in and a full day to install with one guy welding the brackets and installing tubes and I was plumbing it out , not that I would suggest it but they will sell just the valve , hoses , trigger ,etc to get you to the base of the boom and you come up with your own plan to run fluid down the boom , I have seen people run hydraulic hoses strapped to the other tubing to save bucks , but the tubing is first class , with on/off valves at the diiper (stick) end , upon completion it looks factory installed if your paint matches ------------

Thank for the help fishfiles. The HKX kit utilizes the existing brackets on the machine so you do not have to weld. I am gonna get prices from both companies and compare. It would be nice to not have to weld and re-paint, since you never can get the paint to match.
BTW....... this is for a Kobelco 200.
