Man it sucks, they always blow at the worst locations and half the time you have to take several loose to get at them. You cant get a tool on most of them easy at all. 1/8 turn shit. I have less patience now than I use to. Hell occasionally you get trapped inside those bastards. ( yeah I know, you can take the door off of houdini yourself out the back window)

Yeah Im beginning to think they have some special wrenches I never heard about.

Most mechanic jobs have a barrier to entry just like any other job. It happens to be specialty tools in this instance. Collecting them as a hobby would be a better use of time than most would imagine.

I got alot of tools, If I knew which would help in this situation I would buy it. It would have to be like a heavy duty but small under sink wrench :).

They have line wrenches that work like socket sets. Also have them that have gear reducers to only need 6degrees to get a click

Link what your talking about?

Every video I've ever watched on Skidsteers involved replacing at least 99% of the hoses before a single nipple got greased. And three days of that process involved running back to a supply store to get the right adapter couplings.

Then the track would fall off..

As for the designer of all the filter locations, that guy really wanted to watch the world burn.

Oh yeah, well experienced with replacing tracks and them coming off. Would rather deal with that than replacing some lines. It gets greased regularly. Im not sure what greasing has to do with lines blowing out though.

I just meant that hoses seemed to split before the owner had even got around to doing the routine maintenance stuff

Yeah it would be a good idea just to replace them all when buying used.

All my shit a fairly old from when designers actually cared about serviceability so it’s never been a problem for me

Bulshit is what it is. Fucking hose are a pain in the ass.
