What our Experts Think

• Fast, efficient compaction on soil & asphalt
  Designed for repair, maintenance and light commercial jobs — ideal for driveways, parking lots and patch work where consistent density matters. Powered by a Honda GX160 petrol engine for dependable performance on a variety of surfaces.
