Technical Description
The Beuthling B305 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a compact and versatile asphalt compactor engineered for small to medium paving projects. It features a robust Kohler 20 HP OHV V-twin, air-cooled gasoline engine with electric start and a 12-volt battery, delivering reliable power and smooth operation. The machine has a precise hydraulic steering system with a 68-inch turning radius for enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. The rear drum measures 40 inches in width and 28 inches in diameter with a 0.5-inch thick shell, producing a centrifugal force of 6,000 lbs at 2,500 vibrations per minute (VPM) and a total applied force of 9,500 lbs, ensuring effective compaction. The travel speed ranges from 0 to 6 mph, controlled via a single lever hydrostatic drive with infinitely variable speed settings.
The roller’s dimensions enable efficient operation with an overall length of 97 inches, width of 44 inches, height of 65 inches, and wheelbase of 65.5 inches. The operating weight, including ballast and operator, totals 4,200 lbs, while shipping weight is 3,100 lbs. It also features a 50-gallon polyethylene water tank with pressurized spray nozzles and neoprene drum scrapers to prevent asphalt sticking. Additional specs include a fuel capacity of 5 gallons, hydraulic fluid capacity of 4 gallons, and engine oil capacity of 2.1 quarts. Safety and convenience are supported by a failsafe hydraulic brake, neutral start switch, adjustable high-back bucket seat, and instrumentation including fuel gauge, hour meter, and low oil indicator. The B305 delivers consistent, smooth mat finishes through precise compaction and maneuverability suitable for various asphalt paving applications.
