Abstract: Embodiments of a hydraulically driven agricultural hose reel comprise a spool, a frame, the hose reel having a front end, back end, drive side, and a free side. The hose reel includes a hydraulic motor system powered by a hydraulic pump, which turns the spool though a transmission assembly. The hydraulic motor system comprises a manifold that selectively sets the hose reel to a series operating configuration, parallel operating configuration, or a free wheel operating configuration.
