split reel on a vortex

[steve frasier]

for those of you that are intersted, here it is. $208 plus shipping from BlueLine. Pretty easy to bolt on if you have some visegrips.

tried different combinations and ran into a few problems so I decided to just split it in half

2.5" hose by it self on one side didn't work very well. The hose it to big to coil at the base of the vacuum reel. If you don't get it tight then the other side of the reel starts to uncoil when you are pulling off vac hose from one side.

There is 50' of 2.5" hose on each reel with a total of 185' on each side, this will do in most situations. Probably still gonna have to carry some extra 2" hose

That's just for the divider right????

Re: split vacuum hose reel on a vortex

yes, just the divider, if you look close you can see the small gap between the 2 bars and the bolt in the middle where it comes together
