Standard features

Dual drum hydrostatic drive. Dual operators positions for maximum visibility. All rolling edges and surfaces easily visible from operator platform. High drum frame clearance. No protrusion outside machine frame. Dual-range amplitude vibratory system. Vibration independently selective on front and rear drums. Automatic vibration cut-out. Easy, open access simplifies service. All servicing accomplished from ground level. Positive drum bearing lubrication system with single low-speed seal. Hinged hose assembly prolongs hose life. Dual hydraulic oil filtration system. Automatic indication of hydraulic filter clog. Spray bar shield ensures full drum coverage in windy conditions. 643 liter/170 gallon rust-resistant water tank with level gauge. Down draft exhaust and muffler located away from operator.
