Hydraulic snowblower 4

[Skidderr226b]

I m trying to find out the type and size of hydraulic motor to run a snowblower with a pump that put's out 15.6 GPM @ 3300 rpm....Also if anyone would know at what rpm and torque does the motor would have to run at on hydraulic snowblowers...Thank you

The difference between -10 and -12 is like the difference between 5/8 inch tube and 3/4 inch tube. About 44% more flow area. The dash numbers represent tubing size in 16ths of an inch.

I just mesured the attachment fittings on my Skidsteer where the snow blower is going to connect and the outside diameter of the steel lines are 5/8". Now I m thinking about the SAE 12 ports that you recommend me with the 3/4" pressure hose and 1" return. Would that make it unnecessary since the steel lines are 5/8" OD. ? Would a SAE port 10 would also work in this case? Thanks all for the great info.

I stand by my suggestion. Don't add to what pressure drop CAT has built into their system. The 5/8 tubing has an ID of about 1/2 inch, too small for 16gpm, in my opinion.

Good to see the flush face quick couplings. The industry I worked in pushed the coupling manufacturers to create those for nearly drip free and easy to clean couplings.
