## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile hose reel system comprising:
a frame;
an axle rotationally attached to the frame;
a pair of wheels attached to the axle;
a spool rotationally attached to the frame;
a driving member attached to the frame and configured to rotate the spool;
a tongue pivotally attached to the frame;
a first actuator configured to pivot the tongue with respect to the frame;
a hose guide configured to move in a side-by-side manner to control a loading of hose on the spool; and
a second actuator configured to move the hose guide, wherein the tongue has a coupling member configured to couple to a towing vehicle, the hose guide is between the coupling member and the spool, wherein the hose guide is attached and pivotally connected to the frame, and wherein the second actuator is configured to pivot the hose guide.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The hose reel system of claim 1, wherein the hose guide is arranged at a front of the hose reel system.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The hose reel system of claim 1, wherein the driving member includes a motor.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The hose reel system of claim 3, wherein the motor is a multispeed motor.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The hose reel system of claim 3, wherein the driving member further includes a slewing ring directly coupled to a pinion of the motor.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The hose reel system of claim 3, wherein the motor is a hydraulic motor.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The mobile hose reel system of claim 1, further comprising:
a second axle rotationally attached to the frame; and
a second pair of wheels attached to the second axle.

### Claim 8

A mobile hose reel system comprising:
a frame;
and axle rotationally attached to the frame;
a pair of wheels attached to the axle;
a spool rotationally attached to the frame;
a driving member attached to the frame and configured to rotate the spool;
a tongue pivotally attached to the frame;
a first actuator configured to pivot the tongue with respect to the frame;
a hose guide configured to move in a side-by-side manner to control a loading of hose on the spool; and
a layout guide pivotally connected to the frame, the layout guide including an arm pivotally supported at a first end, wherein the tongue has a coupling member configured to couple to a towing vehicle, the hose guide is between the coupling member and the spool, and
the first end of the arm is pivotally supported to allow the arm to pivot about at least one of a vertical and horizontal axis.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The hose reel system of claim 8, wherein the layout guide further includes a capture member configured to capture and guide a hose configured to provide manure to an agricultural field.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The hose reel system of claim 8, wherein the spool is generally between the hose guide and the layout guide.
