[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 89615, member: 897"]   Are you converting a PTO driven snowblower for use on your skidsteer? If so, the blower was designed to operate at either 540 RPM or 1000 RPM. (These are the 2 common speeds for tractor PTO's). The issue with sizing a hydraulic motor for any snowblower is determining what RPM the snowblower was designed to operate at. Each snowblower manufacturer designs the components so the auger feeds the snow to the fan at a rate where the fan can launch it at a speed where the chute can handle the volume and maintain a good throw distance. If the fan is not spinning fast enough, the snow will not be thrown with enough speed and the unit will not operate properly. If the unit is run too fast the auger will not deliver it to the fan properly and you can damage blower components. If you can determine your blower's design speed, we can help you select a motor. The additional questions we will have for you are: Is the motor going to be attached directly to the blower fan? Are you going to use a chain or belt drive from the motor to the fan? If the blower has a PTO power shaft, what is the diameter and spline count of the coupler that attached to the tractor? The motors I use on skidsteer attachments are Charlynn 2000 series motors. They were designed to handle 3000 psi. If you are converting a 3-point tractor snowblower, they sell hydraulic motors that have a standard PTO shaft as the output shaft on the motor. For example: [URL='https://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Motors/Ag-PTO-Output-Hydraulic-Motors/'] [COLOR=blue][B]Ag PTO Output Hydraulic Motors - Surplus Center[/B][/COLOR][/URL]. Notice they come in different displacements. For a given hydraulic flow, the larger the displacement the slower the motor will spin. Some people build a 3-point adapter for their skidsteers so the motor is not dedicated to one attachment. These allow you to use powered and un-powered 3-point equipment.
