RAM chippers

[RRD]

Does any body have torque or other data on a ram 30/25 chipper

[Mr Ed]

Really depends on what engine its running. Perkins or Kohler?

Who did you buy it from?

 

Knew someone who had one. Their american, firm that made them went bust but theres a website in USA that has some technical data, think you can download the handbook.

i had one, they were very powerful but had a real problem with the spleens stripping on the rollers where the hydraulic drive slotted in, quite heavy if i remember, it had the perkins engine.

 

i still have a ram grinder.

it has a kohler V twin petrol .just rebuilding it after it shattered both blades but other wise never had a problem .had the flywheel ground where the blades fit so now just need to torque the bolts and get it earning money again
