How many ft lbs of torque..

[Rex Tyus]

does a Root's 56 spinning at full throttle and 16 " of Hg produce?

Thanks Matt. I am really not as concerned as I once was about the torque on my Cleanco. Since I converted to 2.5" hose the drag on the system (aka Hg) dropped tremendously. I just like to have the best I can get for any particular application. I truly believe that pto units have the most to gain from 2.5" hose. Performance wise and longevity of parts.


Thanks again. I may contact you for more info on the 175ft lb clutch one day(after all my other upgrades are complete).

Hey Matt,

one other thing, I once read the number one cause of clutch failure was voltage drop. Have you any experience with this.

Oh, I'm sure it could contribute.. That electromagnet needs full power to pull the friction plate down tight. Mine had full power. You're probably right about that 2.5" hose. I really need to order some from Greenie. Since we can't go all out with our blowers we need every bit we can get. The 2.5" sounds like the ticket...
