Snog Marry or Avoid.

Still looking for a trench compactor. Needs to be sub 150mm width. Thinking a light one might get used more and if only shallow/narrow trench then a lighter machine will be sufficient. Anyone played with one of these?

Anti vibration on lumag stuff is shocking. Just s**t.

Don't do much with this stuff, but i believe the Wacker range is the daddy and the best for HAV

Same for the Lumag wacker plates? Thought they were rated okay from a lot of chat on here. Looking to swap out my mucktruck for a 270kg FR Lumag...

Great idea but impractical as usually spoil is in the way and want the bucket on to refill whilst wacker is wacking.

Fraid so. I have a lumag plate. It's terrible for anything over 10 mins!

That’s a disappointing review. Is yours a 270kg or a lighter one? I only want it for little jobs so will go look at it Monday

It's a lighter one. 100kg. Don't get me wrong it compacts it well and has long since paid for itself over otherwise hiring but as said really don't like using it for any length of time..

to compare my 2540 wacker has a 15 hour max work time! I do think I’d fall asleep before then walking around at 0.01mph
