Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

cat fever: Very nice setup Lynn!

What size (diameter) hydraulic hoses run from your HP24 to your blower? Roughly how long are they? Does Erskine provide guidelines in their documentation?

Reason I ask is I have a older setup that was marketed to wood splitter users. It uses a 21 gpm Prince pump. I swapped out the valve for one intended for hydraulic motor direction control. I believe my lines might be a bit small.

The ones mine use are 1” hoses

Nice setup for big snow. Do you use your quick attach carrier for any other implements?

No it's a one of and only part of the box in my thinking.

I don't remember if I posted this before, I built it 3 years ago. It'll pull or push, most of the time I have it pushing. Where I need to back up against garage doors I'll turn it to pull so I can get close.

I can move snow with the front or back and hardly move an inch without one end or the other moving snow.

Do I see three sets of attachment points for the back blade that you can offset to either side? And I think I see 2 sets of attacment point that you use for the push or pull option. Correct? Jon

5 Speed, that pic makes me shiver.

lol..that was a couple of years ago. I try to wait until the storm is over before I go out, makes it a bit more pleasant.

Thank you grsthegreat.

I have 21 gpm with 3/4" hoses. I think ideally I should have something like your 1" hoses.

Did the manual to your power unit have suggested sizes for the different flow rate pumps?

The Tach-all carrier is supposed to lock in via a lower pin. I don't see an attachment point on you Box. Do you just grab under the upper hooks and let the box pivot on that?

no, it came as a complete system. The pump puts out 3,000 psi as i recall.

Not able to off set it, and yes the "hooks" on the box mirror each other.
There's 3 of those hooks, then a vertical pair of 1" pins that drive down into a heavy wall pipe, otherwise it can swing by those hooks. I have a hydraulic top link that aids in the hooking/un hooking.

Tatch all carrier? Did I inadvertently copy something that exists?:laughing:
I'll post a picture of the linkage when I'm back on the computer.
