For the past 10-15 years I have had a few hydraulic hoses blow out, needed a few "custom applications" (i.e. extra long hoses for bale thrower on baler), or simply replacement hoses for the hydraulic cylinder bought at the farm sale for $10 with hoses completely shot. Due to apparent ignorance, I have patronized equipment dealers and places like NAPA for my hydraulic hoses. News flash- Getting a hose made up is not cheap! Recently I became aware that pre-made hoses with male only ends in "common" lengths (like 5-6-7 feet) can be purchased at your local chain farm supply store (Rural King, Tractor Supply, so forth). It just never occurred to me to look there. If you need such a hose, these places are about 1/4 to 1/3 the price of a dealer or NAPA. If you need a special end crimped on your hose like a swivel or some such, the farm supply chain store ones wont work. So my post has two purposes: 1) To notify anyone that just needs a standard hose to look at the ones in the farm supply store and save a good chunk of change. The second point is to say these hoses are printed "Made in China" and like I said, are much much cheaper than having one made up (and less time consuming as well). Has anyone found out that these farm supply hoses are of inferior quality and stay clear of them? I just have to question why they are so much lower priced than custom made ones.... and it could certainly be because they are a big money maker for NAPA or the equipment dealer.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
