radiator hose problem TO30

I bush hogged for about 3 hrs, took a break and started again-- and noticed my radiator hose had collapsed. At no time did the tractor overheat-- I keep a close eye on my guages. I replaced the radiator and hose about 6 months ago and haven't had an issue since. Is this possibly a cheap hose,low coolant, a blockage in the cooling system, or a bad water pump? Too hot to check right now... Thanks in advance,I'm sure you guys have the answer.
 
Weak hose needs replacement. I use the inner spring from an old hose to reinforce the new one.
I also save old springs to install on new hoses that do not have a spring. This aleviates the collapse problem.
 
If you can't find a new hose with the spring try to get a new one that has the ribs on it instead of a smooth hose.
