labelling hydraulic hoses

[Richard Smyth]

The ones in my granit link are bsp (hose side anyway).

I think the rings would probably be just as good and hopefully cheaper.

Shall have a look. Cable ties work well but sun makes them not last long here

Does anyone know of a UK stockist or have a web link?

Allen Connell will post them to the uk

Wish we could have some sun damaged cable ties here

Has anyone got an accurate price for those Kennfixx grips?

Sent you a message Rob

Wish it would rain here and not get frost at flowering stage but hey ho we can’t have everything.

You can buy a lot of cable ties for £30 [emoji33]

Nobody's mentioned tape yet. I just use cow tail tape but coloured electrical tape would be cheaper. Leaves a nice thick band of colour and saves so much time coupling up. Also I use individual colours rather than pairs so red and yellow for one spool, green and blue for another so no need to think about which way round they go and can just plug them in while half asleep

Used to use tape but wouldn't go back to it now after switching to cable ties as they don't eventually fall off.
I put a single coloured tie on the hose to the negative spool and two of that colour for the positive.

Interested reading all the different ways people have of doing it. Most of them look like they make perfect sense to ourselves but would be utterly confusing to others

Cable ties here to match the tractor spool colour, single for return spool and doubled for pressure spool. Brown ones dont seem to come in the cheap packs so is substituted with red.

Reminds me of the grips that Amazone fit to some of their kit, but they use numbers to ID the ends rather than colours and pictograms

Can you guys do a link up with Granit or Kramp? so you could access / shop directly as an FMP user?

It's trickier than it sounds.... Notwithstanding the commercial side of things, technically having unified sign-in is tricky. We're looking at how we can do it between TFF and Marketplace, but it's going to be some time away yet. The principle is sound, as it uses the same technology sites use to have Facebook logins, but it would need quite a bit of work to actually do it..

My Granit account didnt last long when two local dealers put pressure on the company to close me down! Got access to Kramp but they dont seem to stock them! Otherwise I'd give you all a dam good deal!
