landscaping. Among their most important features are perfect visibility thanks to a “wasp-waist” front section, low vehicle height and good transport and handling characteristics. Modern Kubota engines ensure a quiet, yet powerful drive. The drum diameters of the compact rollers are exceptionally large. This helps prevent the formation of fissures and bulges and promotes high compaction quality. In addition, the machines generate very large centrifugal forces and have a high static linear load. As a result, the HD CompactLine rollers deliver top-class compaction performance. 8 models in

this series are available with oscillation technology. The gentle, low-vibration and intelligent compaction mode can therefore also be used in confined construction sites such as in city centres. HAMM also offers numerous options for this series. They include chip spread- ers for the models from 2,5 t as well as a ROPS cab for the largest models in the series, the HD 13 and HD 14. In addition, various models can be equipped with the HAMM Compaction Meter (HCM) for measuring the progress of compaction and the HAMM Temperature Meter (HTM) for measuring asphalt temperature. b
