Re: (ET) tilling

["Steven Naugler" <snaugler earthlink net>]

Brad and others,
        I'd recommend the snow blower motor.  It is designed for heavy 
continuous
use and, if like the snow blower motor for the large frame tractors, is
series wound.  This will increase torque as the tilling load increases. 
The sweeper motor I believe is a permanent magnet motor and is lower in
power than the snow blower.  It has three disadvantages over the snow
blower motor:  1.  It has less power, 2.  It does not increase torque as
the load increases and the motor slows down, and 3. It is a permanent
magnet design where the magnets can be demagnetized during high current or
high temperature operation.
        Hope this helps you decide.
