The L275 I picked up had the hydraulic hoses replaced, and this is what they look like now.



That doesn't look like an OEM quality job to me. I'd imagine they could get snagged by tree branches, etc. What's my easiest option for improving this? Thanks.

Add a 90 degree fitting to the end of the hose.

FYI: If your snagging that line on a tree branch you're doing something wrong! :p

LOL! Yeah, if it's still attached to a tree, I've got what's coming to me. I was thinking more about having the bucket loaded with logs/branches....
