A crop harvesting implement operatively connected to a tractor having a wheeled frame, a draft tongue, a hydraulic cylinder interconnecting the frame and the draft tongue, a hydraulic cylinder interconnecting the frame and the draft tongue, and a hydraulic conduit system containing at least one flexible hose extending from the forward end of the draft tongue to the tractor, is provided with a hydraulic hose support pivotally mounted on the forward end of the draft tongue to support the flexible hoses at a position forward of the draft tongue. The pivoted hose support is mounted in a pivot bracket that is fixed to the forwardmost end of the draft tongue. The pivoted hose support includes a vertical portion defining a generally vertical pivot axis about which the hose support can rotatably move in conjunction with the pivoting motion of the draft tongue relative to the tractor and frame. The pivoted hose support also includes a support portion that projects away from the draft tongue and a hose clamping bracket that fixes the flexible hoses to the pivoted hose support.

1. A crop harvesting implement operatively connectable to a tractor to receive operative power therefrom, comprising:a frame; a draft tongue having a rearward end pivotally mounted on said frame and a forward end extending forwardly from said frame for connection with said tractor; a hydraulic cylinder interconnecting said frame and said draft tongue to control the pivotal movement of said draft tongue relative to said frame; a hydraulic conduit system operatively interconnecting said tractor and said hydraulic cylinder to provide a source of hydraulic fluid under pressure from said tractor to said hydraulic cylinder to control the operation thereof, said hydraulic conduit system including at least one flexible hose extending from said forward end of said draft tongue to said tractor; and a hydraulic hose support pivotally mounted in a pivot bracket affixed to said forward end of said draft tongue to support said at least one flexible hose at a position forward of said draft tongue, said hose support including a vertical portion, received in said pivot bracket and defining a generally vertical pivot axis about which said hose support can rotatably move; a support portion projecting away from said draft tongue relative to said tractor; and a hose clamping bracket at the distal end of said hose support to fix at least on flexible hose to said hose support.
