Tractor mounted Snowblower for a skid steer VS Heavy wet snow

What happens here

Shane demonstrates how to identify the specific flow rate of a snowblower by checking a decal on the attachment. He points to a sticker on the snowblower's hydraulic motor that lists different flow ranges in Gallons Per Minute (GPM) and corresponding model numbers. He mentions that for older snowblowers without such decals, the model number on the fan motor can be cross-referenced with Quick Attach Attachments to determine its intended flow rate. This information is crucial for matching the attachment to the machine's hydraulic system.

Goal: Learn how to determine a snowblower's intended hydraulic flow rate.

at all. So, you really want to do your homework and make sure it's going to match your your flow rate. But, we do have a decal on the back that tells uh the original manufacturer how it was built and what flow rate it was in originally intended for. Oh, there I see it right there. And if punched out, yeah, if an older snowblower doesn't have a decal, we can cross reference the motor number on the end of the fan motor. So, that's right here. Okay, guys. So, this is something that I had no clue about. You've got to ma you've got to match up your snowb blower to your skid loader. What else should we look for when we're looking at buying a snowblower? For hydraulic snowblowers, uh you know, you should never buy one that has chain
