[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 52706, member: 307"] You could put a crossover relief valve between the supply and return hose to the loader (from the blower) to limit your pressure if you want. These are adjustable so you could limit the max pressure to the blower to protect the motor. You will give up some of the power you are putting to the blower by dropping the presure. I would be temped to run the larger motor seen as you have it already. Your pump volume being lower then then designed for won't damage anything, you will just reduce your throwing distance. See how it works for you. The biggest problem with used blowers is they should be matched up, an the newer machines keep getting larger pump flows and higher pressure, so if you pick up a used blower the odds of it being a ideal match are not great. But motors are not cheap either, so $75 on cross over relief and another 50 to 100 on plumbing might be a good option. [/QUOTE]
