Not to be disrespectful KSSS ...... but the way I read it was Kobel owned the smaller spec'd BLOWER before he bought the Higher rated flow CASE
Erskine also builds smaller spec Blowers that will work on SMALLER Skids w/lesser flow that use the identical motors which Kobel currently owns
I HAVE taken a hyd flow meter and a hand held mechanical tach to measure the fan Rpm and to find out the exact max flow for the hyd motors at certain engine RPM's ... when I did this all I had to do is drop 400 engine rpm (in my circumstance)..... skid was still in the power torque curve, had lots of wheel power to propell and saved fuel hugely ...LOL.
The problem he is trying to solve is not to over drive the EXISTING blower motors to a point where it WILL cost him money when all fails, as I had happen with my last skid-steer when I spec'd a motor from an Erskine made blower a 2418 to be exact .... I copied the same Eaton 104-1065 that they used ... it cost me a ton of money to find out the hard way running my first Blower on my last skid not having the proper info
When he matches the flow rate of the skid to the motors on the Blower, Fan and Auger Rpms will be there and not plug the shute, it will just not have the torque and power that yours and mine have, resulting in a slightly slower feed rate and travel speed or Tons/hour
The original post was asking to know if someone had done a conversion on that type of blower to operate using Case's buttons in side the cab ...... Which I also have DONE (just not with a Case skid) with great simple success.
Just trying to help the guy out with bad and good experience I had.
On another Note KSSS ... a buddy of mine just bought my old Allied Buhler blower and I have to make it work on an old 1840 Case .... is it true that it produce only 16gpm aux. flow ? ......... if it is true, then its gonna be a challenge to find a small enough disp motor for the blower to make it work on his machine ....
Driven at 1:1 I will need to have a 5.9cu.in ... max 6.2cu.in motor to produce the min fan rpm at that spec flow rate
He is just using it for his own personal stuff.
Have a great winter making Frosty the Snow Man "HAPPY" ... when you Travel around with your Snow Blowers.
