PTO + Wet Kit + Blower = Confused

Does anyone in the Houston would like to trade a blower motor kit for. A hydraulic wet line. Kit if so email lrichardson50lady@Gmail.com

 

Make sure that the truck you buy, is it isn't already set up with a PTO, is capable of driving a PTO. Some of the mega carriers spec a trans without the gears that mesh with the PTO's to save costs/weight, etc. Only the Mega carriers buy enough trucks at a time and get them speced just as they want. Adding the needed gears afterwards is very expensive.....

I agree with the Gardner Denver suggestions, they have had the quietest blowers for a number of years now after re-designing their products which had the reputation of being the loudest made.

If you will be vacuuming on product you will need a muffler to place on the outlet while the blower is sucking on the trailer. That's the loudest thing you can do with a blower.

 

Try opening up craiglist, in San Antonio, tx they usually have trucks for sale by owner operators tired of the eagle ford area and checking Odessa tx craiglist will have trucks listed as well as blowers for sale

 

I know this is an old thread so hopefully I’ll get a response. This may seem like a dumb question but I’m not knowledgeable enough to know the answer. Can a tranny have 2 separate PTOs on it ? If I have a tractor with an air compressor/ chemical product pump specifically the Paragon HydraChem on my passenger side is it possible to put a separate PTO on the other side of the transmission with a wet line for a dump trailer ? Yes I know I need a hydro/fuel split tank. Just wondering if it’s possible to have both set ups. If anybody can help me I really appreciate it. Thanks

 

Which tranny?
Which engine?

 

None yet. Getting ready to spec new tractor. Just wondering if it can be done, but if you know which engine and tranny works best please let me know. Was going to go with Peterbilt either Cummins or Paccar engine Eaton Fuller 13spd trans. Thanks for the reply.

 

Yes, there should be a bottom mount 8 bolt PTO, and a side mount 6 bolt PTO. This is on a manual transmission, not sure how many PTO's on the automatics.

 

Ok great sounds good ! Definitely going with manual trans. Thanks for your help!

 

If your going to run a blower, use the bottom 8 bolt bottom mount PTO. The 6 bolt side mount will not tolerate the start up torque needed for the blower. The PTO will not hold up.

 

I will not be using a blower. I will be using a air compressor/product pump made by Paragon HydroChem, that’s my primary work. Also looking to do some dump work too. Thats why I was asking about 2 PTOs. Thanks for your help also.
