Needing a suction hose for my pump to use on my trommel I went online searching for the best price and ended up at Tractor Supply. When you follow the link, Abbott Suction Hose Kit the price is just under $70.00, but in the store it's $150.00 for the kit. So off to the sales counter I went with the kit at our local Tractor Supply. The sales lady said that she would not honor the online price and I said, "Sure You Will, Get The Manager Up Front & Center" Manager arrived took the info. came back a few more times then called the cashier and said to sale the item at the online price. The only thing I added was a hose adapter and cam-lock connector to adapt to my trommel as the other end of the green hose I need to cut the fitting off so I have a male and female quick disconnect fittings at each end. Cost me another $16.00. The kit came with 20' suction plus 25' discharge 2 inch hose's and the fittings. I am using the green hose backwards (Supply Hose) cause I did not want a hose that would kink, not to mention needing a hose that could hold up to desert life in Arizona. If I need to add length to the green hose TS sales the 2" hose by the foot and I need to purchase another set of hose fittings.
If you have never been to Tractor Supply you need to go cause they have lots of things you can use and build equipment with. Can't beat the Rubbermaid 100 gallon Trough prices anywhere, maybe were on sale but at $69.00 that's a bargain. Perfect for recirculating using three troughs.
