MACHINE DESCRIPTION

Each compactor model offers the ideal combination of weight, drum width, frequency,
centrifugal force and amplitude. The combination of these specifications results in the most
efficient compaction of hot mix asphalt (H.M.A.) and non-cohesive soils.
DD-29 / DD-31HF / DD-38HF Compactors feature the Kubota V2203M engine and hydrostatic
propulsion and steering systems. The hydrostatic propulsion system drives both drums for
maximum gradeabilty.

DRUMS

To meet varying job requirements, the operator can manually control drum vibration or static
and select dual drum or front drum.
DD-29 Compactor has an eccentric speed (the vibration power driving the drums) set at 4000
vibrations per minute (66.47 Hz).
DD-31HF and DD-38HF Compactors have the eccentric speed (the vibration power driving the
drums) set at 4200 vibrations per minute (70 Hz).
