I lived in Rockford until 1997 and the address that they list is for Youngberg Industries and seems like they have been in Rockford forever.
They did sell Industral supplies and also they had Youngberg welding.They have a real good name in rockford, I did know one of them but can't remember his name right now.

I have the 16 ton ramsplitter with the 2hp electric motor. It rivals my neighbor's 8hp Honda, actually splits knarly grey birch easier than his. It is roughly 3/4 size of the big gas powered models and because of this is easier to move around and takes less space to store. I split 4-5 cord per year. No gas, no fumes, no noise. I purchased a 100 foot 12/3 commercial grade extension cord from HD so I can use it around the woodshed. Love it and my brother is buying one after seeing this one work. Build quality is excellent and the price was hard to beat, delivery included for around $800. nfi just a satisfied customer. All parts are available from Northern if I ever need them.

Hi Friz,

I am an authorized dealer for Ram Splitters. Hands down the best splitter for the money. If your looking into the electric models these will rival any gas motor with ease. We guarantee your satisfaction or we will replace your electric motor with a gas motor. Also the beam quality is second to none, they use rectangular tube beams instead of I or H beams and the strength comes to about 3 times stronger then a regular I beam.

Sorry dont want to sound like a commercial but they truly are great products.

Thanks, Mike

I purchased a 3PTH Splitter from Doug - of Ramsplitter in 2006 for my B21 TLB and had them add a Y stand on the splitting end and two legs bolted onto the 2 3PT pins so its a "standalone" setup with 15' long hoses that connect into my BH disconnects. I leave the BH connected (I pin it up) and carry the spliitter on the front bucket.

I have a bucket hook on my tractor and a loop around the top link on the splitter and pick the whole thing up and transport to the splitting area and go to work then lift it up and put it away when done. It takes me about 3 min to hook up/remove - very easy setup.

THe B21 is rated @ 11GPM flow and I run the tractor at 13-1500 RPM and its not fast but it works at "my speed". They also added the exit chute/tray and I got the slip on 4 way splitting head but I dont use the 4 way head anymore as it takes too much pressure to work properly and I can do it as fast w/o.

Overall I am happy with the build quality and Doug's willingness to customize to what I wanted with the legs/stand and longer hoses etc.

I purchased the three horse power electric model back in February of this year. The pump or possibly a combination of components causes a very loud high pitch noise which requires ear protection. Doug (company owner) says it is due to the higher RPM of the three horse power model and the pump is making the screaming noise. Doug says he will send me a quiet pump. Doug has said this for months now. I call Ramsplitter about every two weeks and Doug says he will send a new pump each time I call but it never happens.

I have a PTO Hyd Pump powered 3Pt Ram Splitter on order....

Same problem... seems that Ram is having difficulty getting Hydro Pumps all arround.

I've been waiting for a month now. They keep saying It's coming in "Tomorrow" and we will ship same day.....

Time will tell, but they did take my $$ way back last month.

I bought the 3pt 16 ton ram splitter with prince pump and can not be any happier. I chose the 3pt over a stand alone because of the fuel economy i get out of the bx compared to a honda 5hp. Doug and his wife were also very easy to deal with, if i ever had to get another one I WILL get one from them.

I talked to Doug again this morning and we are hoping they get in on time today via Fedex before the deadline of the truck can pick up the splitters. They are on pallets ready to go just need to put on the pumps and they will be on the way.

I know its frustrating to have to wait. Trust me I take the brunt of the frustrated customers, so it frustrates me to . If you ordered from us at anytime we will refund you if don't want to wait anymore as long as it hasn't shipped out yet. Look at the bright side the snow isn't flying yet.
