Hello everyone,
I have a Kubota b21TLB in which I am in the process of putting on a quick attach system to the front end - made up my mind to go with the ATI attach all system. Regardless, I want to put my kubota 3pt blower onto the front of the tractor. I intend on powering the blower with a 23hp Kawasaki engine mounted to the blower. My challenge is the Kawi should probably spin around 2000 rpm to 2200 rpm to be in the torque curve of the motor but the blower is designed to turn at 540 rpm therefore a pretty significant reduction. I have a 6" pulley (w/ electric clutch) on the engine therefore if I would need a roungly a 20" diameter pulley on the gear box. My question is, does anyone know if I can get a gear box that is designed for a 1000 RPM input - meaning a more reduced gear box? My other thought is to change the gear in the blower and spin the gear box faster. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Lastly, I really do not want to add more pulleys to reduce the final drive.
thanks
scott
