Designed and built by the most experienced team in the world, the RagnarTech 9700 is engineered to deliver higher quality and greater efficiency in every category than any competing product. It represents the refinement of everything our team has learned over 40 years of designing and building grinders.
Through innovations such as an integrated feed system with a built‑in dirt screen, increased feed torque, a rotating primary anvil, expanded screen area, optimized hog box split geometry, cool‑running rotor bearings that require no daily greasing, a purpose‑built John Deere engine, pivoting tracks, an innovative dolly design, and optimized overall machine dimensions—combined with the highest‑quality components and steel available—the RagnarTech 9700 sets a new industry standard.
The RagnarTech 9700 will:
- Primary grind more and larger material than any other grinder in its class, outperforming machines with 150 more horsepower. Higher production means lower operating costs.
- Secondary grind more material, horsepower for horsepower, and even outperform machines with an additional 150 horsepower in a single pass—without oversized material entering the finished product and with no spillage underneath to clean up.
- Grind block wood more calmly and efficiently with its rotating primary anvil, reducing shearing and splitting costs.
- Transport legally in every U.S. state and worldwide with simple permits, thanks to its compliant weight and road‑legal design.
- When equipped with the dolly, allow you to disconnect on the road, move the dolly with the grinder to the desired location, park it, disconnect, grind, reconnect, and position the complete unit where a truck can easily hook back up. This is possible because of the pivoting track frames, which eliminate the need for outriggers and make the unit extremely capable off‑road. The pivoting tracks also allow you to slope the infeed, improving feeding efficiency while increasing discharge height.
- Consume a fraction of the carbide tips used by competing grinders due to its superior feed system, resulting in significant savings in wear‑part costs—especially given today’s carbide prices.
- Encourage proper service and maintenance because the machine is easy to open and provides excellent access to all critical components through its hydraulically expandable service platform and unique hog box split design.
All of these features are valuable and contribute to significantly reducing the overall cost of owning and operating the machine. However, they are minor compared to the built‑in fuel savings.
Because of its feed system, machine geometry, overall design improvements, engine, and control system, the RagnarTech 9700 reduces fuel consumption by 40–50% compared to competing grinders.
Over 10,000 operating hours—which represents only a portion of the machine’s designed service life—the fuel savings alone exceed one million dollars.
When you add the additional savings from longer‑lasting wear components, reduced trucking wait times, transportation savings from running legally on the road, fewer operating hours on supporting equipment, reduced labor costs, and improved resale value—because the machine is equally at home anywhere in the world as it is in North America—the numbers become even more compelling.
The savings provided by the RagnarTech 9700’s innovative design can pay for the machine two to three times over during its service life.
So ask yourself—is it worth spending an additional $2–4 million to own a less refined brand?
Finally, when something does happen, the knowledgeable and dedicated RagnarTech team stands ready—day or night—to help resolve whatever issue your machine may have, without excuses or delays, which have unfortunately become all too common in today’s industry.
Please give us a call to discuss how the RagnarTech 9700 can reduce your operating costs and improve your profitability.
Thank you for your attention, Anders Ragnarsson & Team RagnarTech
