power beyond to run snowblower?

rjm5133 · Jan 30, 2011

i am looking to mount a hydraulic powered skid steer to the loader arms of my jd 4520. first quetion is will a power beyond kit run the motor? how many gpm will it flow? and third is does anyone have any recommendations on what blower to run. looking for something in the 6 to 8 ft range.

The flow will depend on the valve you choose. It should be a little higher than the hyd output in GPM. Are you saying that you want to install a hyd motor driven attachment . The PB outlet is designed to flow the total flow for the valve spec. If you will be using stacked valves, make one of them motor spool setup, perhaps with detent.. You can use a 4 way valve, but you have to be careful about releasing the levers back to neutral, because the hyd attachment might still be turning and will begin to act as a pump, and the fluid needs a place to go. A double relief valve across the motor will suffice to re-route the fluid from output to input of the motor.

You will not have near enough flow to operate it, sorry-especially a 6-8' one!

Yes, sometimes called a "hydraulic power pack" JD makes one I heard price is close to 10K though for everything: http://www.deere.com/en_US/ag/media/pdf/frontier/snow_removal/dsfe43684_frontmount_lr.pdf

Michigan Iron also makes one: Michigan Iron & Equipment: Kioti Dealer

I have been told that Buehler (farm king) will be offering a loader - skid mount - snowblower and powerpack this fall in the 84" size.....well have to see how much they want for it. Im not sure why the hydraulic res systems are soo much $$$$

This PTO pump puts out 21 GPM, but it cost about $526. Add reservoir, valve, and hoses, and that should get you close to $1200.
