My 2 cents...buy the best, forget the rest.
You will never know how many times they have saved you, by being just that much better.

With tools too. Always buy better if you can. I have a Milwaukee 9" grinder that's 30 years old and still works great. Dewalt and Rigid would never last as long or have the torque it has. It weighs a ton though...Bought a Lincoln wire feed welder recently too. Paid for itself with my first project.

The splitter that is there can't be modified, so I would have to replace it anyways, and run new lines. That would make 3 lines, as opposed to two longer lines, if I can run two separate lines.

You can see the dual hose fitting on the bottom right of this picture.
as long as the lines get their feed from the same place it makes no difference....the pressure in a hydraulic system is the same everywhere...regardless of length or routing....one of the advantages of hydraulics is the versatility...

That's what I needed to hear. I found a site that shows a picture of that setup and explains what the benefits are. I'll post that when I'm on my computer.

Good to know, though I don't have ABS.
