Wacker plates

[GazCro]

I’ve a wacker dpu100-70 750kg beast, looking for a remote control for it. Compacts better than our tv800 twin drum but is lift on trailer only and Kubota 3 ton won’t lift it. 5 ton does. Next one down is 100kg bomag with water then few smaller ones down to 50kg belle mini but a nice 200kg diesel that you can wheel onto trailer etc would be nice

Who's going round and round in circles and making pyramids in the hardcore

Me it’s a 44m x 10m building feck going back and forth on first pass, I’m sure you always wacker everything perfectly first pass.

my old two, the belle has one of the chinesium engines and has been well used , the big in was a godsend on a large job but just don't seem to get much call for it, probably a bit too much to be tight up against houses

You should be sitting on a roller then. And yes seen as you ask i do wacker properly every pass and make sure if anyone else is doing the wacking they do as well. Bolloxed if I'm spending the time grading for the wacker pilot to f it up

Yeah that’s to big for me

Is that a pre breaker version, or just a roller in its own right?

just a roller .... chain from hydro. f/r drive unit and belt to the vibe weights in the drum ctr.

 

[V8Druid]

my little ped roller's put all my patch down for me .... I've the time to give it plenty of attention, but the first pass usually leaves it pretty hard ... give it a pass occasionally after it's been very wet too, always knocks it down some more ... as said .. smooth on the controls is the way to not get hurt / flung about

Ffs people I think we all understand that a ped roller is usable

There doing that thing where you have to justify why your struggling with outdated manual s**t rather than just getting a ride on

If you lift a lot with your 3 tonnerit might be worth welding on an eye onto the stick. I use the grapple bracket. Just brings in everything closer to the machine and can gain more lift. Not a problem loading 800kg dumpy bags onto a trailer like this

Pfft.

 

[V8Druid]

'cos for the amount of use mine gets, the 300 quid it cost competes very strongly with what a 3ft ride on'd cost to sit about 99% of the time ..... and is a lot more manoeuvrable

They're doing that thing where, you have to justify why you're struggling with outdated manual s**t, rather than just getting a ride on

Worked on lots of those 71s, f/r springs stick on the shaft, the clutch bolts wear through, the eccentric shaft bearing seizes, the drive chain stretches, and the drum mounts snap off

 

[diggerjones]

All this talk of rollers. Mine hasn't been used for years. May well get it out and see if it still works. Like this one but with plastic tanks.

Now now ...late one night had to chuck some mot down on a gate job....s**t no whacker...hang on what's that mate says.
Circa 18th century push roller lurking in a bush... It worked surprisingly well but fk were we knackered! Next time we went it had gone pikeys delight. How they got that in the high side I dunno.

The Victorians would be laughing now if they could see us moaning about having to pull a few levers.

Wow a BW75, with 100 yard handles! Try putting that on a beaver tail without taking your knuckles or chin off! Easy to start though with the ratchet decompressor (Hatz single)

 

[Lancs Lad]

Are we discussing the trailers that you dragged them pedrollers round on...always look Kin iffy especially dragged behind a waggon bouncing about always pictured one letting go of its load on the M6...that be surprise meeting a ped roller at 70

Same here. I don't do enough of that kind of work to justify owning a sit on and for big jobs they're cheap enough to hire anyway. The ped roller is just very convenient for those jobs where it's too big for a plate and saves the faff of hiring/collecting etc.
