I've changed the hose n the one above on my 6810. Probably not the best connector/hose selection. I love them tractors though. Swapped a 4,2 kW starter on, and she wakes up a lot brighter in the snowy season. A little over 5200 hrs on her, never ridden hard n put away wet. Love her.

Story of my life. If need to just move some tractor out of the way, say 2min "job", i have to start by fixing my tools, after i have searched them for some two hours, yeah then fix them some 5 hours and then i can begin the engine rebuild of that tractor because of course the crankshaft is broken just then. So.. after some week or two of 200h of work, i get to move it that 5 meters out of the way. This goes for everything. lol.

Shouldn't JD take back the hose they improperly resized and not charge you extra for the 2nd hose? You brought them the hose for sizing, it was their job to use whatever hose and connectors they had to replicate the hose, if they failed to do that, well then they shouldn't charge you for it.
