STONE SD43 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Stone SD43 is a static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction. It features a 43-inch wide smooth drum and an operating width of 49 inches, allowing for effective coverage and consistent compaction. The roller has an inside turning radius of 94 inches for maneuverability in tight spaces. Powered by a John Deere 3029DF150 industrial diesel engine, it delivers 58 horsepower, based on a 2.9-liter, 3-cylinder PowerTech design, offering reliable and efficient performance compliant with industry standards. The machine weighs 6,100 pounds and applies a total compaction force of 14,900 pounds to ensure optimal soil density. The vibratory drum operates at a frequency of 35 vibrations per minute, enhancing compaction effectiveness on silts and clays. The SD43’s construction includes standard features such as drum scrapers and operator safety systems, making it suitable for construction and roadwork applications where smooth, uniform surfaces are required. Its robust engine and vibration system support low operating speeds between 0-4 mph to maximize soil consolidation. The combination of precise dimensions, strong compaction force, and reliable engine power enables the Stone SD43 smooth drum roller to deliver consistent, high-quality results in a variety of soil conditions.
