Hey guys. So I'm nearing the end of re packing all my hydraulic cylinders and almost all the hoses on this 580 Super K are in bad shape. At the moment I got one that is leaking I need to replace that goes from the backhoe control valve to the boom. This area has prob 6 or more hoses running all together at the swing pivot area of the hoe. I just yesterday got two hydraulic hoses made up at napa for the extendahoe and had those two hoses cloth covered. The look real nice. The cloth covering was crimped underneath the crimp fitting on each end and not zip tied or some ****.
Question for everyone: Is there anything wrong with replacing all my hoses with this cloth covering included? I don't see a issue, except maybe the extra cost... In my opinion, all these hoses have shorter lifespans due to aging in the sun, so protecting them with the cloth cover sounds like a excellent idea! Thanks for the opinions!
