Description
Shatter dense clay clumps under relentless percussion with the Husqvarna LT6005 11-Inch Rammer. This machine packs cohesive soils with 3372 lbs of impact force. A commercial Honda four-stroke gas engine powers the multi-stage spring system. You must check engine oil levels prior to tilting the unit down on the ground.
Husqvarna constructs the lower leg from cast ductile iron bolted to an eleven-inch laminated wooden and steel shoe. A 3.6 HP Honda GXR120 gas engine drives the percussion mechanism at 720 blows per minute through grease-packed steel compression springs. Unboxed machine weight totals 154 lbs. Outer frame dimensions span 29 inches long by 14 inches wide by 40 inches high with vibration-dampened guide handles.
Key Features of Husqvarna LT6005
Utility contractors buy Husqvarna LT6005 rammers to compact trench backfill around sewer pipes while checking commercial equipment pricing. Pipelayers consolidate cohesive soils and deep clay trenches without damaging plastic utility conduit.
- Overhead cam Honda GXR120 engine delivers high torque starts without fuel premixing.
- Wide eleven-inch laminated shoe covers broad trench footprints to accelerate compaction passes.
- Laminated wood and steel shoe absorbs high shock rebound to protect internal drive gears.
- Three-position throttle lever integrates engine stop, idle, and full compaction speed settings.
- Dual air filtration traps fine silica dust before particles reach the carburetor throat.
- Vibration-isolated guide handle cuts hand-arm strain during extended shift runs.
- Balanced transport roller bar enables one worker to pivot the frame into trucks.
Percussion Force Stroke Height Tolerances
Bench testing proves steady percussion energy across varied soil profiles. The Honda GXR120 engine maintains 3600 RPM under load, delivering 720 percussion blows per minute with stroke travel reaching 2.7 inches. Piston guide runout measures under 0.007 inches TIR within the sealed oil leg. Crankcase operating temperatures stabilize at 138 degrees Fahrenheit after four hours of non-stop soil testing. Handle vibration dampers isolate hand-arm acceleration down to 6.4 meters per second squared on dense clay soil backfill.
Trench Maneuvers Field Maintenance Realities
Guiding this 154-pound rammer along ditch floors is manageable thanks to balanced machine weight, advancing on its own momentum. The throttle switch operates crisp with thick leather work gloves. Do not buy this machine for asphalt surface paving or open road gravel compaction. It belongs on cohesive ditch soils.
- Check engine oil levels with the dipstick before every work shift.
- Inspect lower leg oil levels through the sight glass once per month.
- Clean air filter elements with dry compressed air every twenty operating hours.
