backhoe hydraulic hose size needed

jpeters ยท 2014-06-16 10:50

Can someone here tell me what the size of hose should be on the hoe? Mine are too bad to even tell and I looked at another backhoe and it had 3\4" I think it should be 5\8" but not sure.

    Uhh, what kind of machine? If it had 5/8 (#10) and you replaced them with 3/4 (#12), as long as they don't rub something or not fit somewhere, It'll be fine.

    Yeah that would help a lot to know what backhoe I have. Sorry still asleep. It is a 580c case.

    Most lines are 3/4", #12. There are a few 5/8" lines and a few 3/8 lines that feed the stabilizers.
