What do they require to run (space, power)?
Obviously, this will vary depending on the model of the machine. Generally, the most space required is for the air bag; these range from 16′ across (be skeptical if the vendor says theirs is smaller) to 20′. Adding a little space around the edge to walk if needed plus space for the control station and operator and you should be very comfortable with 25′ by 25′, but 20′ by 23′ usually works. Most Power requirements for hydraulic powered bulls are based on a 10 HP motor. This will draw single-phase 220/30/40v power from a 60-amp circuit. Most vendors carry multiple connectors/pigtails to connect to the plug pattern at your site. Make sure the vendor has a pigtail for your plug, hardwiring is a bad idea unless it’s done by a liscensed electrician. Blowers for the air bag usually require 20 amp 110/15/20v. Light and sound systems that many vendors bring along require more power still. Most NightSpots, Fairgrounds, etc. have this much power and then some so you should be okay. I’m not an el
