Hydralic cylinder question?

I find that I need to use the same cylinder on multi pieces of equipment. Cylinders and houses cost to much to have one on each.
My question is. Do they make a angle fitting that can swivle? On my haybine the hoses need to come of to the rear and on my disk the hoses need to come off to the front.
I just have angle pipe fitting on the cylinder right now. Being able to swivle the hoses would be nice time saver.

Get yourself another cylinder. We have enough to go on our feild cultivator, springtooth, plow, and cornplanter at the same time. Our haybine, chopper, and springtooth never have theirs taken off. I think we have 7, could be 8 on our farm. Still wish we had more. We bought one at the boneyard for $20, works fine w/out leaks.

Don't you know one of the first pre-requisites for farming is the ability to bleed money?

its only money. bite the bullet and get more cylinders/hose. it is not worth changing cylinders everytime you need a piece of equipment.

They certainly do, in pipe thread or O-ring seal, whatever you need.

Do you get to farm sales, seems you do with the equipment you have, I've seen hyd cylinders really drop in price at the sales here in MN, $50 gets you a pile of 2 with hoses & couplers (rarely your style, but that's farm sale bargins....).

Swivels will cost a bit, be prepared. Finding a second cylinder sure makes life easier.

Check with anyone that has equipment to make up hoses to length. They may have the swivels. I'm almost sure the original hoses on my JD 148 loader had swivels. Another option is to equip your cylinder with couplers, so you can use the hose separately on another cylinder, motor, etc., or hook several hoses together when you need a longer one. On your cylinder you could use a pipe 'T' with couplers facing front and rear.

OR....
Get the couplers like JMS suggested and put the 90 degree pipe fitting on the end of the hose. Then put one ISO coupler on the elbow and put the other ISO coupler on the cylinder. Then you can snap it in at whatever angle you want... But be careful that you don't spend $30 on couplers for a problem that would be permanently fixed by buying a $60 cylinder

Excellent points here from all- if you want to do custom work on a timely basis you need to spend a few bucks- auctions are a good place to buy extras. You need two or three cylinders to do seasonal work. When the planting is done, you can switch the plow, disc, digger cylinders to the haybine, baler, etc. or the picker, combine, wagon, chisel, etc. I can normally buy cylinders with hoses for 30- 50 bucks, and have maybe 10 on the shelf now- some need a shaft straightened (bought for $5), some need O-rings, rebuild kit, etc., and some are for parts like end caps, etc. Some will end up in the scrap pile- but they were worth the few bucks I paid for them, just for parts. Just like buying trailer wheels that are smashed- you can cut out the centers and replace the ones where the bolts wore out the holes- buy them on an auction for a dollar, spend an hour in the shop, and have a $35 spare wheel when you are done.

Agri and I am sure Shoup are carrying the imported cylinders. I have been using them for years with no troubles. If you go with Agri-Supply then order your hydraulic lines from there as well. Those hoses hold up as well as the ones that cost 10 times more.

What if your hoses were long enough to make a loop when you needed to change directions?

That would be fine except. I dont really want hoses slopping around all those gears and sprockets under the cover of my haybine.
