Are cheaper Wacker plates any good? I see there is a Hyundai one for £500. The bell and Wacker compactors are a bit dear for me at the moment although I'm sure they are great.

I bought a big strimmer/ brush cutter and that's great considering it was £160odd. I'm just wondering if the Wacker has enough wallop for 6inch of type 1

My boss bought loads of mid range ones the big plates about 30 inches by 18 inches and I can just about pick them up by myself and put them on a lorry
The previous ones made 2 people grunt getting them in a transit and almost impossible to get on a lorry
But I don't think there is as much difference in the smaller plates

making machines look small since 1980
picked myself one up from aldi online the other week is a scheppach brand one. Used it a couple of times around the house and is not a bad machine at all does what I need and has plenty of power. I only payed £290ish for mine so around half price from screwfix. The one in the link is the same machine

Anybody wanting a cheap plate the budget one is the VP60 (60kg) loncin engine, wheels and rubber matt.
I would do a deal for anybody on the forum who calls and mentions potatoes on the phone. they retail for £425 inc vat
£390 delivered anywhere in the UK. INC VAT

Those Bomag wackers are very good. Weigh around 300kg depending on modal and usually have a diesel Hatz engine in them. But they are mega money new for their size. I've been tempted by a cheaper brand for this weight range of wacker but bits like the rollcage just don't inspire the same kind of confidence that the Bomag ones do. And they do get battered swinging around under machines and being operated by idiots on site.

Found it on Aldi's site, cracking wee wacker for the price, comparable to the lumag above specs wise - https://www.aldi.co.uk/scheppach-plate-compactor/p/083913261079101
