Schramm Peumatractor

Dominion 410 ยท 2009-05-26 20:37

Years back a local rental house had a Schramm 185 Peumatractor in their rental fleet.It had a six cylinder engine with three cylinders for power,the others for making air.There was a three position selector for either tractor,compressor or both.Have an old ad for these and it shows a whole range of attachments available.Broom,backhoe/loader,rock drill are some.Anyone remember or have dealings with these?

    If you do a Google search you will find stuff , but you need to spell " Pneumatractor" you forgot N after P here is one link. http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=33882&p=270375&hilit=pneumatractor#p270375

    hi scholzee, your right,I did spell it wrong-having a moment...The link shows pictures of the same unit the rental company had.In fourth gear it would do around 30 mph.Only for the faint of heart-they had mechanical band brakes for stopping,and small at that.:drinkup Dominion

    we had an old schram aparantley they were a favorite of railway repair companys we had a kent 999 air hammer on ours (steel making industry) it was great you could drive right up to the job site and you were ready to go no air compressor required
