Hose coupling
The Hydra-Snap hydraulic coupling system by Westendorf Manufacturing allows users to connect up to four high-pressure hoses in one quick motion.
Each hose is fastened to a self-aligning plate that acts as a hose assembly unit. The plate is keyed to ensure the hoses are connected to the proper line upon connection.
Hoses are disconnected simultaneously by rotating a release lever 90 degrees.

Tire remover
Farmex has developed a portable hand tool for mounting and dismounting tires.
The Bead Cheata can remove implement, vehicle and tractor tires and often eliminates the need to remove the wheel from the hub, saving time and energy.
The Bead Cheata is positioned with a hammer and secured using a standard 1/2 inch ratchet and 11/4 inch socket. Once attached, the tool is rotated to remove the tire from the rim.
The tool is small enough to fit in most tool boxes and its heavy construction is designed for rigorous use.
