    No, it's a total home brew. I sourced the valve from Freemont industrial supply, the hand control from Scorpion technologies, fittings and hose are custom made from Parker components and the stainless lines and flare fittings I bought from McMaster Carr.

    Snowing like crazy now but was raining earlier so it looks like I will be hot wiring the solenoid in the morning. For 11 years I've been zip tying 14' hoses for the angling cylinders all the way to the middle of the tractor. This all put a end to that.

    Always hated the exposed hard lines. Used a 2 ply hose and lots of cosmoline. It was like giving a cat a bath...the hose went down swinging. I'll put the bands on tomorrow.

    Very nice work. A friend just gave me a bunch of stuff that he didn't know what was. Included was a Band it tightener so I can do those now. They sure make a good looking, strong system.

    Thanks Kevin.
    I got mine after watching the county mounting things on poles. Amazingly strong system.

    That banding tool is the exact same one we use to clamp the fittings on HD suction hose at work. (3-4" hose)
    We use SS band on the hoses...

    It also works well with pallet banding for use as a clamp or precision come along. Can pull a weldment square without burning ratchet straps or putting bb's on a cable. I saw a wicker type chair upholstered in stainless covered in hose once. It was on the end of a pier. Ron Popeil should have sold them they are so handy.
