Well I was out clearing the massive (for our area) snow that we got. There are some drifts over 48 inches high. It's tough to say how much snow we got because of it blowing but I would estimate between 28 to 32 inches, it could be more.
Anyways I got the driveway cleared that I can get out which I'm not going to do except for an emergency. I went over and helped the guy beside me. He let it get away from him and his Gator wouldn't move it.
I was dressing up my drive and blew a hydraulic line on the front end loader of my Kubota B-7800. I finished up with the box blade but with a snow like this you really need the loader. Does anyone know of a temporary fix until I can go get one on Monday? It is the short hose and is where the hose bends. It is a slit that is about 1/2 inch long close to the fitting that hooks to the loader. I had thought about trying to put a hose over it and clamp it but don't think it will work due to the place where it is.
Second question is should I go ahead and replace all the hoses or just the one? I'm afraid I weakened them earlier this year when we were having a brush fire at the house for Halloween and I had to haul hot coals up closer to the picnic area after it rained quite a bit.
