Snowblower Problem w/Kubota Front-mount Snowblower

[Edhof]

Several weeks ago I posted a problem I was having with a Kubota B2772 front-mount snowblower. The chute rotation mechanism is hydraulic.
I was HOPING TO GET COMMENTS FROM POSTERS who also have a B2772 front-mount snowblower with hydraulic chute rotation to see if they were having any problems with the hydraulic mechanism.
So far I have not heard from ANYONE who has a front-mount snowblower with hydraulic chute rotation, let alone one with a similar problem.
Maybe I purchased the only one of its kind?

Just a guess, do you have an hst tractor? When the engine is operating at high rpm the output of the hydraulic pump is very high. I know with the ag tractor I use you have to be very careful when rotating the chute while at pto rpm for blowing as it will swivel like lightning!

A low pressure relief around the motor would be the best solution I think.

Ed:
I have a 2710 HST with a 2772, however I could not afford to pay the cost for the Kubota hydraulic rotator. I decided to build my own. Attached you will find the post I made about it a while back. I have included some pictures in it. I had the same problem that you had, So when I designed my setup I put a shear pin in it to avoid the problem. However since I have a Cab on mine, and have a need to plow out a U shaped area, I removed the stops, now I can throw snow up and over the cab behind me /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
