Still think a 55p roll of insulating tape is best!

one drop of hyd oil and tape slides off.

Not if you put a cable tie over the top of the insulation tape

probably about £13 each, and a £1 for the coloured + or- disc

I use coloured cable tie
But if you are a tight wad Why dont you just dop the end fittings in paint and wipe paint off the tip with a rag or get technical and use a brush

But come on you can’t put painted spools in a Fendt!

Problem is getting the students to remember what the coding system is.

 

[Happy]

Indeed.
Can't quite believe we are on post 90 and people are still looking at expensive options at £13 a hose.
Must still be too much money in this farming job

What's the fuss about?
A coloured zip tie on the tractor spool and the same colour zip tie on the implement's pipe.
Simples.

You would think so wouldn’t you, but people still do it wrong. Think the only way to make it idiot proof is make it male on the pressure and female on return. With different size for each number.

Sorry but if you can’t do something fundamentally simple as that you’ve no hope?!

I agree entirely, but there are a lot out there and they’re getting more common in my experience.

 

[massey765]

I just cable tie them in pairs....then one couler tie for each power out
Ya use less cable ties that way

Yes but there are some really stupid people about

Not even metallic paint?

24ct gold.

 

[Cowabunga]

24ct gold.

Not hard wearing enough I reckon. Not unless it was diamond encrusted perhaps. Not your Diamante rubbish though, because people can tell from the lack of sparkle. That just wouldn't do. People talk!

We use coloured cable ties which match the spools on the tractor. Two for positive, one for negative.

I would like to put labels on the pipes as to what they do. Ear tags would do, wouldn’t they? Cheap(not sure what a box of blanks would cost) and cable tie them on as well?
