I was just using my backhoe today and the hydraulic hose to the loader lift cylinder popped a hole.
Question: What causes a hose to pop a hole? Is it age?
Could there be too much pressure in the system?
If I accidentally stepped on the hose one day, could this cause it?

Don't go checking out those pin hole spraying oil with any of your body parts. The pin hole is from the oil taking the path of least resistance through some very tough material. Two or three layers of steel braid and some high quality oil resistant inner liner and out sheath. A small weak spot blew but everything else around it is still too strong to fail. Hence the small orfice.

Bought a 1970 4500 Ford tlb last year, popped one boom hose. Digging this spring, popped a bucket hose. Second bucket hose went a few strokes later. Each was mounted in the center of the stack, so I took all six off and replaced them, about $50 each. Miserable place for wrenching, had to torch a good wrench to get it into the spot, but figured do it all now, good for next 30+ years. Blowing ten gallons oil multiple times is not cheap either.

Wait till the hoe boom pops a hose. Real fun if it's like my JD. The hoses connect to the cylinder way up inside the boom. You get to wrestle the 200 pound cylinder out. Even more fun getting back in.

Thats is normall, those hoses get weak from age. A good auto parts store should be able to make a new one for you. I'd guess cost will be around $50 but its worth it. If you try to fix what you have it will just pop again and probably soon.

Andrew, Age, damage caused by the metal braid rusting and weakening.

The hose wouldn't be damaged by stepping on it.

Replace with new hose, don't bother trying to repair it. Not cost effective.
