You can get the hoses at any old farm store, and put them on yourself, along with couplings. It is pretty apparent how to fit things together once you look at it. I would just route the hoses backwards over the top of the tranny cover, and against the seat support, so that they are out of the way of your feet. I also always use liquid teflon (the brush-on type of stuff) when I do hydraulic stuff, just helps it seal a bit better.

As for the duals, you will not need them for plowing in most circumstances, and will not be able to use them anyways. This is because your right hand wheel always goes in the furrow, which is only wide enough for one tire. And if you have wide enough tires with enough fluid/weights, you shouldn't have a traction problem. But I HAVE thought about putting duals on our 400 for disking, the motor will pull a lot more than the tires in soft plowed ground sometimes. So, what I am getting at, is don't mess with the duals if you are going to plow with it.
