I’m looking for a 50ft tire hose with a glad hand hook up.

    Technically, since tire pressure is supposed to be checked with cold tires, you'd have a better chance catching me checking the pressure before I leave my parking spot. The gauge rests right next to my chair, easily reached from the ground through the open door.

    A hose long enough for the tractor is what I wanted. Some attachments.

    See the website. Never Kink.

    Attachments available also

    I found one at PETRO/TA. One isn’t limited to what is shown as to attachments. I also have use for this at home. Swap out gladhand end, etc.

    I like Loves Tire Pass monthly. After a planned overnight shutdown that location. It’s ALWAYS going to be a two psi correction (is how to look at it).

    I call ahead to find Tire Service hours as I want earliest departure.

    Our trailers are all equipped with auto-inflate. But the hose will reach.

    For me the hose is mainly a just-in-case. Glad to have it.

    Think I’ll check Harbor Freight and go thru the FLEXILLA site. Might be more I hadn’t considered. I’ve seen hands blowing water and other off their tractors after weather.

    EDIT: Looks like a $25 CAMP CHEF 14” DUTCH OVEN BAG will carry.

    Cut the end off and get the Milton S693 lock on chuck and splice it in with a hose clamp and a NPT adapter. Or if you have one like pictured above, just thread it on. It will lock on either direction, sometimes you may have to rotate it a little. Worse case you forget about it and it inflates the tire to whatever the governor cutoff is, then just depress the needle and lower it back down to 100-110psi.
     
    LoneRanger, Slowmover1 and Oxbow Thank this.

    so you buy new tires and never check the air pressure?
