Few things stop a job faster than a blown hydraulic hose.
Your hoses carry the power that lets your machine dig, lift, and swing. When one lets go, you're looking at damage to other components, unplanned downtime, and a repair bill nobody budgeted for.
Most failures trace back to something preventable:
-Cover or shield hoses that sit near rebar, rock, and concrete
-Check hoses for visible wear before every shift
-Route hoses away from pivot points where they can rub
-Keep hoses out of high heat areas that stiffen and crack the inner tube
-Change hydraulic filters at the intervals in your owner's manual
-Use only the fluid your system and hoses are rated for
See below for the full details on each one.
