Hydraulic chute rotataor

[jakell2010]

Hi

I have a Blizzard 60" 3pt blower and want to put a hydraulic chute rotator on it,,,any one know where, and any tips?

I have a remote for TnT on the back , so that's done, I just need the right motor

In my case, on my blower, the "right" motor was one I had on hand off an old salt spinner. I just removed the handle from the old cable operated chute turner and stuck the motor on in its place. I'm just careful not to pull the valve handle too hard when adjusting...

See the attached pics of my 2 spool valve , the QC are for the hydraulic Top link, and the 8's are for a chute rotator that I still have to figure out,,,,I will post more when I mount it on the tractor tomorrow

Does anyone have a hydraulic Shute rotator?



If sowhat motors are they using for thee job

You could use about any hyd motor, if you control the rpm. Maybe use sprocket and chain, or cyl and lever, and spring..

Jake,
I think many of the factory shute rotators are based on using a double action hydraulic cylinder. That said, I think the hydraulic motor would be a nice clean setup.

I think you need a high torque low RPM motor.

Something like these...

I like the Rube Goldberg way that John Deere does it with a linear cylinder and a cable-pulley system on their garden tractor snowblowers. Could be reverse engineered, but much welding and fabrication skills would be needed.

My old farmking used a simple radius pulley and a piece of wire rope. A 8" double acting cylinder would then rotate the chute in about 1-2 seconds thru 200 degree turn. The parts were about $100 for the pulley and i had the cylinder in storage already. My new blower is super complicated thing....hydraulic motors, chains, relays.....looks like a mess if i had to work on it. Works amazingly fast though.

Ii currently have a wire screw handle operated from the seated position, I like th direct method of mounting that expanded wire screw on a hydraulic motor, but the ones I've seen have had RPMs in the 1,000's,,,that chute will look like it's doing a piruette at 1 k rpm,,,,,lol,,,,good for u- tube


I got the VB mounted, and the hydraulic top link in,,,,,works really nice, and placing the body just behind the seat works well
