Put my initial Intro in another forum ('New Guy'.) 2019 KX-040 mini excavator. 2025 SVL-65-2 skid steer. A couple tractors (31 & 50 h.p.) with usual implements: brush hogs; auger; seed broadcaster; FEL on the smaller one; 5 ft. grapple. Wanting to use the grapple on the skid steer (I know, undersized for the skid steer but mainly gonna use for small, downed trees/branches and brush.) What I could use help on: the skid steer has both the Standard and High Flow hydraulic quick disconnect couplers. In order to use the grapple I will use the Standard set of couplers. I am aware both sets require "Flat Face" (a new one on me . . .) couplers but I'm not sure the sizes and identifiers so that I can order and make a couple adapter hoses to mate the skid steer to the grapple (an 'Everything Attachments' brand 5') with what I believe to be 3/8" NPT type quick disconnects that are factory mounted on the grapple. Thanks in advance and thanks for having me.
Woops.

I blew a hydraulic hose last week and for the second time I just took it to my dealer and in twenty minutes they had a new one made up for me. Don't know if that helps or if you have a dealer close by.
Thanks, Cooperhawk. Unfortunately, my dealer is 60 miles away. There are a couple hydraulic shops closer but just not sure they're up on these SVL machines and the sizes of fittings they use. My actual hope was to be able to just go on line and order the fittings and hoses and assemble them myself. Thanks again.

I don't know about your dealer but mine is really great and a phone call would get me all the specs I needed. They would probably make up the hoses and ship them right to me. My dealer is about twenty miles away from me.
