Hydraulic Question

Posted by Brad Gyde on September 15, 2011 at 21:12:57 from (50.36.125.226):

I was wondering..

Is there any reason why I couldn't use.. say.. 3/8" High pressure line instead of the normal 1/2" on a drawn cylinder?

The cylinder is what I'd call the "average" size for old implements. Nothing huge or nothing.

The reason I ask is we're having a small plow day on our place this weekend.. I only have one usable cylinder, but I think my dad would possibly enjoy dragging my disc around as we plow with the other tractor, but the usable cylinder is on my plow.

Instead of buying more hoses for something that is rarely used (the disc has covered less than 2 acres in nearly 5 years now, the plow has been longer, but went over more ground) could I just use the 3/8" hoses I had made up for a different application, but no longer use?

I have all the pieces to adapt from the fitting on the hose to my pioneer nipples and the pipe fitting on the cylinder, so no problem there.

I imagine it may "react" a bit slower, which could be lived with.. Like I said, since I'm not farming anymore, the only time I use my tools are to work the garden, and a "play day" such as we're having..

Would it work safely, or would I harm someone or something by doing this? YES, the hoses I plan to use are ok.. They last held pressure this spring, and the oldest set is 4 to 5 years old, and are good for the pressure (wire reinforced weatherhead hose/fittings).

Thanks for input in advance.

Brad

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
