Hydraulic Chute Rotator

[OC455]

Why are you looking at a motor that is twice the cost and is overkill for what you need?
This is much a slower motor and 1/2 the cost and size.

FYI: You have 6.1 total GPM, you will have losses for Power Steering and such, so the max would never be over 6.1 GPM.

Was just comparing one motor that OldeEnglish used to one that was listed. Nothing more....


So, the 6.1 GPM rate from the tractor and the 5.0 cu in motor you listed which has a flow rate of 9 GPM, would essential be slower because you do not have the flow rate to drive the motor to its listed RPM. Just making sure I understand it. I can usually figure stuff out pretty good....

The motor you picked out is a high flow motor, you can tell because it has a case drain (you would need to run three lines to operate that motor).

The motor I picked is a good combination of small size, low RPM and low flow.
And yes you will be able to slow it down even more by restricting it's flow.

Next pay check is going to be parts gathering time.

I think I got a good idea what I'll be doing.

Wolfman found a good motor for a good price. I was a bit limited to what I could use because I bolted it up to a gear reducer that needed a certain bolt pattern as well as shaft size. The motor did cost me a bit more but the whole project cost me $200 less than what it would have cost for the kit from the blower manufacturer.

Ordered the motor and some other parts. Along with some other items.

I got some ideas from Paul Short's youtube videos. Gonna give em a try on my little machine.

What did you end up buying for a motor? I would like to do the same with my BX5450. Last winter i used a window motor but it no longer works....

I went for an electric motor rotator, 3 years no issue, if it does go I can pick one up for almost nothing at the scrap yard or $20 new.
I ran both window motor and linear actuator for rotation and cute through a 4-way connector, some relays and a 4-way joystick.

I have a BX2750 snowblower with a manual chute. Is there any reason I couldn't buy one of these and make a bracket to hold it?

I used a $50 12VDC ATV winch to turn my old blower. On my new blower I replaced the hand crank with a hydraulic motor for under $200.
