When I’ve knackered yet another hydraulic pipe:…

Can you get compression fittings for flexi pipe like this (ie so I can chop the swaged bit off and put a new fitting on myself to save throwing the whole pipe away and having a new one made up for £££)?

If so, where do you get them from?

Thanks😁
 
You want a reusable end

Come in all sizes from multitude of suppliers. Looks like 2SN on your hose, that's 2 wires, get the correct fitting. I've used plenty where the hose disappears inside a machine or is very long which would be a waste to chuck the whole pipe

Thanks @deere66 -much cheaper than getting a new hose made up every time some idiot clobbers it 😏
 
We used to make up our own with the compression fittings but usually had to go special for what got broke so started letting the machine shop make it up, however that was pre-internet so it's easier to get what you want delivered in a couple of days.
Often as not a pipe can be borrowed from something else if it's needed daily.
Usually if I get a leak it has worn through the pipe somewhere so whole thing needs changing but you can get joiners for such a situation would get you going if there is space for it.

I’ve broken this one so many times before, I already had a spare one on the shelf 😳. Bale grab with a badly sited top pipe- should really alter it when I get round to it 😙

Would a compact elbow be better than a swept one if you keep hitting it?

Is that a check valve? It could do with some sort of protection plate over it

It could do with being re-sited elsewhere on the machine (it’s a splitter valve so the two arms move in sync rather clinking side to side like single ram grabs tend to)

Could you make some kind of guard to go on the bale side of it? Something roundy so that it protects the doodah but also doesn't damage any bale that hits it but also allows access for maintenance and repair?
