Bobcat E10 expanding track hose replacement

[pettsy]

The expanding track hose has split on my E10 this evening, just managed to get it off. Is it worth getting one from Bobcat or will my local hose place do?

Go local, it's all standard stuff.

My new mobile lad came out the other day, made me one up for the e10, one of the long pilot hoses, £40. Can't argue with that.

Depends who your local hose place is.
When I'm getting hoses done at my local place I see hoses waiting for despatch to a fair few manufacturers I recognise.

Go genuine bobcat- they are not silly money and you know it will be right.

Not the sort of place where you want the hose to have any differences from factory IMHO.

a good hose place should be able to replicate any hose to the mil. ... Guys in Raglan are ace at making hoses and only use decent quality products

I rang local bobcat dealer I bought the machine from, £28.06 plus vat, in stock.

assume that's 3/8" / 10mm ... you'd be hard pushed to have one made for that

My point exactly. No messing.

I always go genuine if I can, always fit exactly.
