It features a smooth drum with a diameter of 31.5 inches and a width of 55.2 inches, providing a high centrifugal force of 11,465 lbs for effective static compaction. The roller applies a static linear load of 72 pounds per inch and vibrates at 55 vibrations per minute with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches. This model is powered by a Kubota V2203 vertical, water-cooled 4-cylinder diesel engine, displacing 134 cubic inches and delivering a gross power of 46.6 hp (34 kW). The engine is naturally aspirated with indirect injection, known for reliability and straightforward maintenance. It operates at 12 volts with a 45-amp alternator supply. The roller’s operating weight is 9,645 lbs, optimized for compacting mediums like asphalt and soil with a max speed of 6.8 mph. It is equipped with four smooth 8.25 R15 tires, ensuring stability and maneuverability. Dimensions include a ground clearance of 12.1 inches, overall length of 9.3 feet, width of 4.9 feet, height to the top of the cab at 8.4 feet, and a wheelbase of 7.6 feet. Fuel capacity is 20.1 gallons, hydraulic system fluid capacity is 13.2 gallons, and engine oil capacity is 2.6 gallons, supporting extended operation. This machine is suited for medium-scale compaction projects, providing robust performance, efficiency, and durability typical of JCB's compactors equipped with the dependable Kubota engine.
