Would like to put a hyd motor on the fan on our accord drill . Is it right the fan runs at 3500rpm? Any one done this ? Standard motors only seem to go up to 2800rpm , Any sugestions where I may get one.

Try Andy Guest, he used to be able to be able to supply a slow speed motor (1200 rpm) with the necessary pulleys and belts which was a better option than the high speed Accord system. He converted our hydraulic drive front mounted Accord hopper to a PTO set up and it has worked really well. Obviously you need a front PTO but it has got over all the problems we had with hydraulic motor seals (Accord £150 a time) and oil over heating .....not to mention incompatible spools on JD and Fastrac...

Thanks for all the info. I bought a hyd motor off Weaving (good company to talk to) But...... turned out it only runs to 2250rpm, which is ok for osr drilling , but on wheat needs to be 3350rpm.
Theyre now getting me a accord motor, ( probally is for a front tank ) that will run at up to 4500rpm.
Hope it fits ok like it is in the parts book.
