Thinking of upgradig to a self propelled smooth drum roller. Thinking of a 54 inch wide drum. Not sure if need both drum and wheel powered unit what do you think?
Is 54 inch too small for a self propelled unit, it would be on residential and small commercial sites one acre size lots. They are about the size of a skid steer and only weigh around 9000 lbs.
Wondering if its big enough to compact soil to meet commercial compaction requirements?
Any machine that you would communicate I should stay away from?
Looked at CAT compactors they are costly, wondering for a compactor is the CAT name worth it, not looking at resale value right now, but wondering about difference in quality of machines CAT vs others like a Compac, any comments?
What suggestions onn what I should look at on the machines?
