Specifications_Snow_Blowers_Pendills_0001.xlsx

This is a specifications document for snow blower equipment procurement. The document compares minimum specifications for two snow blower models—an 84-inch snow blower and a 72-inch high flow snow blower—both designed for compatibility with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's equipment at Michigan Pendills Creek National Fish Hatchery. Both models feature identical operational capabilities, including 19-inch auger diameter, 26-inch fan diameter, and 45-foot maximum throw distance with electric-over-hydraulic discharge chute control offering 270-degree rotation.

The specifications establish detailed requirements for hydraulic and electrical integration with various vehicle platforms. Both snow blowers require high-flow hydraulic systems capable of delivering 27 to 35 gallons per minute at a maximum operating pressure of 3,500 psi, with 14-pin Deutsch electrical connectors and 0.5-inch quick-connect hydraulic couplers. Equipment compatibility extends to multiple Caterpillar platforms including compact track loaders (331G, 333G for the 84-inch model and 325G for the 72-inch model), compact wheel loaders (224L/P, 324L/P), and skid steer loaders (330G, 332G for the 84-inch model and 320G, 324G, 324E for the 72-inch model). The specifications are based on John Deere SB84M and SB72M models, with the 84-inch unit measuring 89 inches wide and weighing 1,080 pounds, while the 72-inch model measures 77 inches wide and weighs 1,030 pounds.
