When I was growing up this kind of weather was called "for staying indoors, count cash, and make children." :109: Neither of these applies!

As I had no cash to count and the other option was not on the table, I chose to go out and lift the 444 from Al using the 644 loader so I could get the chained tires off. Well, what do you know. This is just what the doctor recommended apparently, the hydraulic oil return hose burst. More fun for a day like this :giggle:

Better now than in the middle of winter at a time when you need it the most . Do you have any replacement hose ?

Sunny clear and 34F around here today. You guys up north have had kind of a bad stretch of weather. I hope you all get some calm days ahead!

@Eugen That hose was going to go no matter what. I was thinking the same as Dave, better now than when your butt deep in a snow drift!

@Eugen Do the loaders call out a lower weight hydraulic oil for low temps?

Good question Matt! I have not yet checked the manual. :oops:

This one I think it's just me to blame. In the summer the hose blew again and I didn't have the right hose so I put a piece of hose from one of the parts tractors. The plan was to get new hose later and replace it. I never got around to do it and paid for it today. :109:
