Usiing hydraulic motor to power mower
I'm trying to run a mower deck with a hydraulic motor. It spins @ 90 rpm
and I need to provide 2200 rpm. I was planning on #60 chain @ 4:1 from motor to a jackshaft then single belt @ 6:1 to get the speed up. Will this work or do I need to re-think? Thanks in advance! |

Might be cheaper, certainly easier, to get a surplus hydraulic motor
with the desired RPM in the first place. |

Uh...that's 1:24 overdrive. Depending on the HP and motor size, the
torque loss will be huge, and your not likely to cut much, if anything. JR Dweller in the cellar CRL wrote: I'm trying to run a mower deck with a hydraulic motor.

Thanks! Pretty much what I figured - time for plan B!

Usiing hydraulic motor to power mower
I made a sidearm cutter one time for my Ford 1720 compact tractor
powered by a 5 h p gas engine. At the time I made it I did not have remote hydraulics on my tractor, but powering a mower deck on an angle wa aiffy situation. I later acquired a PTO driven hydraulic pump which opened up a lot of different avenues to do things as far as hydraulics is concerned. I zeroed in on a stash of hydraulic motors I had laying aorund unused, and after a ot of experimenting in avenues that I had not much of a clue in, I finally got one that worked just perfect to power up a mower deck. It about maxes out my hyd pump in regards top gph flow needed. I am lost when it comes to gph, and the torque ratings, and have no clue what my motor is rated at as there is no data plate etc on it. I owuld definately go with a motor that needs no further reduction or increase, for best results.... Checkout surplus center as they have a heap of hydraulic motors.

Most hydraulic motors turn QUITE a bit faster than that, usually in the 1000 RPM range. If it has a gear train on the output, can you remove the gearbox? Jon |

Jon Sounds like a hydraulic steering servo motor. Can't remember the generic name offhand - something like orbital. *** Free account sponsored by SecureIX.com *** *** Encrypt your Internet usage with a free VPN account from http://www.SecureIX.com *** |
