I was hoping someone could answer a few questions. I have a LS XG3135H, I recently picked up a snowblower, older but great shape except no manual chute rotator device. Planning on adding a hydraulic motor with chain and sprockets to rotate the chute. Question: what concerns should I have on selecting a Hydro motor, like psi, rpm and flow? Tractor Supply has a motor by Chief. Motor specs - 23.6 CID, SAE 10 ports, 150 RPM, 3,850 torque and operating PSI is 1450.
Would appreciate some advice and education. I know it won't take hardly any torque, but I was hoping to rotate it fairly slow. Thanks

You can install flow controls to limit motor speed and use a much smaller motor. Hard part is guessing how much torque is required to turn that chute while in use.
