Hi everyone!

Im new here, but I hope you will help me.
I need a good motor for the barn exhaust fans. there are 4 fans in my barn.
I cant decide between baldor or leeson so possibly someone is familiar with their motors.

Here are the desired charateristics:
Single HP
1725 or 1800 RPM
Three Phase
TEFC preferred
56C frame size

Thanks people!:idunno

bump,

The guys in my local store advised me to take this one

https://www.mrosupply.com/motors/ac-motors/general-purpose-motors/26523_vm3546_baldor/

, but I’m not sure yet.

The price from local dealer is higher than in the Internet, but at least I can be sure that they will not ship me the used motor.

Also heard about the WEG motors. Mechanics say they better deal with the humidity.

If anyone has any experience buying motors online, any tips, tricks etc - Id love to hear!

Thanks

I don't know the answer, but maybe someone more mechanical-minded does. If the price differen't isn't major, I'd buy locally - no shipping hassles, and someone right there if there's problems or questions.

What kind of animals are you raising?
