Hi
I have read a few threads that relate to this situation but I now need more specific details on the hydraulic part.
I have a 75" Meteor Snowblower that I have been using on my 3 PH. I believe it should be possible to run this blower attached to the FEL. Understand I need a hydraulic motor that turns at 540 RPM to run the blower and I believe I would supply hydraulic power one of two ways:
1 - from the tractor which has a 13.5 GPM pump (not sure if this is enough power)
2 - from a separate PTO driven Hydraulic Pump using a 20 - 25 gal hydraulic reservoir (this could be on a 3PH and provide balance for the front blower)
I am confident my friend the welder can fabricate the quick hitch but I need some advice on Hydraulic component sizing and sourcing.
Anyone done this and able to provide lessons learned.
Appreciate any comments.
Bob
