Agricultural Hose

After more than 45 years in business Puck and its hose brand, BullDog Hose Company, are at the forefront of agricultural hose design and construction. From crop irrigation to liquid manure application operations, BullDog hose is a reliable addition to your operation. These American-made agricultural hoses deliver the steady and reliable flow you can depend on.

Larger diameter hose allows for better pump performances by reducing friction loss. Friction loss is caused by the liquid manure encountering resistance within the hose interior. With each size increase in diameter for hose, capacity for slurry is expanded, thus decreasing the pressure loss. As we cover in Pump School, a single length of 6” hose operating at 2,000 gallons per minute (GPM) will see a pressure loss of 53 PSI. Increasing your hose size to 8” in diameter for the same flow rate and length of hose will see just 13 PSI in pressure loss. With LDH, you’ll see improved flow rates or longer distances utilizing the same pump and operating parameters.

BullDog Hose is a quality manufacturer of large diameter hose and flexible pipeline systems for a range of applications. Liquid manure draglines for slurry transfer and water irrigation in fields are common agricultural uses for BullDog’s durable, lay-flat hose. Designed to withstand the toughest ground conditions, these hoses are a reliable addition to your operation.

Mainline

After pumping liquid manure for decades, Puck has found that hose provides the fastest and most economical way to transport liquid to the field for application. BullDog’s Mainline Hose is a flexible lay-flat drag hose with a large diameter. The large hose size ensures that your operation moves as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Mainline features a unique through-the-weave one-piece construction for extreme durability. It consists of a circular-woven, high-tenacity polyester reinforcement, and completely encapsulated in a tough elastomeric polyurethane cover and lining.

Designed for the field, Mainline provides a long life and maintenance-free service in even the harshest environments. Long-term storage in coiled configurations will have minimal impact on hose life. The TPU material is resistant to fuels, chemicals, UV, ozone, weathering, hydrolysis and microbiological attack. It is also durable enough to last in the harshest fields with exceptional resistance to cuts and abrasions.

X24 Drag Hose

Field-tested over three years, BullDog’s X24 Drag Hose is a high performance flexible lay flat, large diameter hose ideal for manure injection operations. This drag hose is specifically designed to be pulled and dragged behind sludge injection vehicles that inject liquids into the soil for agricultural gain. To reduce pumping costs, the through-the-weave manufacturing technique of X24 prevents delamination. This results in a much lower friction loss than aluminum or PVC pipe. Designed with our thickest outer jacket ever, the X24 ensures a longer service life for your operations. Since drag hoses wear from the outside, we’ve made the X24 thicker to keep your dragline running smoothly and efficiently.

Premium 200

premium 200 lay flat hose

Since traveling irrigators were first introduced, farmers have relied on BullDog irrigation hoses to deliver the highest quality products for their operations. With a working PSI of 300 and a burst PSI of 600, farmers can rest assured that the Premium 200® Irrigation Hose will safely and efficiently get the job done. Premium 200 is a lay-flat irrigation hose that is tough enough to be dragged through a field with unsurpassed abrasion resistance. As the connection between your water source and pivot irrigator, Premium 200 has outstanding kink resistance, which eliminates concerns of irrigator movement decreasing flow.

Unlike other water hoses for irrigation, the Premium 200® is collapsible and made from nitrile rubber. It's extruded through-the-weave to provide superior resistance to ozone and ultraviolet light, as well as extreme durability in harsh environments. This irrigation hose has a special rib pattern for exceptional abrasion and cut resistance while moving across harsh ground conditions. Irrigated fields depend on a strong and reliable flow of water. The Premium 200® Traveler Hose is for the farmer who wants the best irrigation hose available.
