Guessing that company used the cheapest hoses possible to save costs?

The Gates hose we use here is the same that we used down south when I trained guys on logging equipment.
 
Interesting my excavator is all Cat XT3 hose and I use it all winter long at whatever the temp may be and I've yet to have any hose failure that I would attribute to temperature.

Forgot I used to own a Fabtek (ie: Cat) logging processor and just about every hose on it was Cat XT3 when I bought it. By the time I traded it most was Gates hose but mainly due to snagging hoses on trees and brush.

I haven’t seen a hose better than Cat XT3
 
I prefer Gates only because it's available 5 miles down the road in town and i can be up and running asap. Cat dealer is 2+ hours away so I have to order hoses and have them shipped or have the service or salesman drop them off when they are my direction.

So Parker hoses fit the bill here now.

My Cat dealer is surprisingly affordable on hoses. Really not much more than a comparable Gates hose from Napa.

I have a Parker crimper from my logging adventure days but now have so many kinds of equipment and fittings it would cost too much to stock ends to make hoses. Someday I'll win the lotto and get a full assortment of hose and fittings. Haha

I miss the old days when it was npt or jic. Not that I like NPT but it was easy to keep on hand. I do like JIC and would be happy if that were the standard.
 
When I had my logging equipment everything on them was BSP so I had a full assortment of hoses and fittings that it made things easy.

Now I have various equipment with NPT, JIC, BSP, WEO, Cat Flange, Sae o-ring, flat face o-ring, and probably others.

Just about everything could be serviced with Sae o-ring fittings for going into valve blocks and such, then JIC for all your hoses.

I have a hard time figuring out how you guys make a "pickup truck" work for feeding out on pasture if you get snow (which you obviously do)... must be because I have a Chevy?

Should have a patent on the “Pellet Puker”.

Get the Texans to blow it here. Cheaper for both of us.

You must have heard about why the wind is a b!tch in Arkansas! Cause Texas sucks!

Our hats and boots don’t compare, because we have normal size heads. We can’t brag about our lack of teeth, but we invented the the tooth brush.

Just a bunch of spoilage happy eating slugs over here in the hills. It’d be in y’all’s best interest to stay away from our freak show. If you ain’t met Bigfoot yet, you will.

Texas is best! Go there.
 
Was a Texan touring through the Kentucky hills. Sees an old hill farmer plowing a field with a mule.

Pulled the car up to the edge of the field and waved. The old hillbilly got to the end of the furrow, laid the plow over and tied off the mule. From under a shade tree he picked up a jug, walked to the Texan and passed it to him without a word.
The Texan took a few swallows and passed the jug back, waiting until the old farmer had his drink he said, “ Ya know, I do a little farmin and ranching myself back home in Texas, how big’s yer spread here.?”
The old farmer answered, “ Well, yer standing on the south end a ma propity, up there in the trees ya see a little smoke comin up? That there is the north end of er, house n barn n still up there. Good spring water too.”

The Texan eyed the distance and all puffed up stated, “ Shoot back home there in Texas I can get in my car at the north end of my ranch and drive south all day and still not get to the south end.”

The old farmer took another swig and said, “Yeh, Yeh, I had a car like that once myself.”

Stay on the beaten track and packed feed grounds. Yes, it gets pushed occasionally but not daily.

Sounds like you have a kind of desginated "feeding area"... not attempting to cover LOTS of ground then, or "as much ground as you can", yes?

Different than what I attempt then, if that's the case... I'd cover the whole farm evenly if I could. Normally remember where I fed in the past year, and then try to cover those areas that haven't gotten done, before I double back again, unless it's an area that's "needing help"... those areas I might cover a couple times in a winter. I usually start out trying to put down residue on "bare spots"... this year it was on some headlands that they used as a laneway..., then washing areas, again for putting down cover/residue, then "weakest soil spots", and then the rest in general... while attempting to allow for shelter from wind when necessary.

Feed ground gets bigger every day. We feed on the edge on clean snow. Usually pick a couple fields that need help and concentrate on them. We would never be able to cover everything in a winter.
