Hi there, i am a new member looking for some advice on buying a new hammer for a Cat 305 CR, any advise would be great as i have never had a hammer before. What i would like to know is do i need to go with a CAT hammer or will other brands work just as good. Cat say their hammers are designed to work with the correct oil flows etc.. Cheers
I there Ireland plant, Where you based at? Were you thinking about a new or s/h hammer? Any brand can be set up to suit your machine! Cat hammers used to be made by Rammer (just painted cat colours)! they also used to make them for Bobcat and JCB! Cat would likely be one of the deerer makes!

Thanks for the Reply CPS, i am based in Mayo, Ireland. I havent decided yet if i should go new of S/H. I havent looked into pricing yet. What kinda money would a new braker for a 5 ton machine cost?

hi ireland plant another thing to consider is the availability of points chisels etc
i have a case hammer (sandvick-rammer) and struggle to get a point of a decent length due to the diameter being smaller then other comparable hammers where as other brands long points are available

Hi Graham, Good point i never even thought about that. A lot of people are telling me that some breakers give a lot of trouble and are expensive to fix and say i might be better to rent rather than buy. would you agree?

i have mainly run krupp and a jcb 360Q and now the case hammer i have had no problems with them
keep them well greased and no leavering with the point
i prefered the krupp as it is narrow at the base and is good for trench work

This hammer is Definatly a Montabert/Tramac BRP85, I have rebuilt several over the years and know for a fact that there are a lot of after market parts available for them.
