Technical Description
The Volvo SD25 Static Smooth Drum Roller is a versatile compaction machine designed for commercial, residential, and utility site development. It features a 42-inch wide smooth drum with a diameter of approximately 31 inches, delivering an effective operating width of 49.4 inches. The drum’s vibration frequency is 36.7 Hz, producing a centrifugal force of 12,590 lbs, combined with an amplitude of 0.054 inches for efficient soil and asphalt compaction. Powered by a reliable Kubota V2203-M, naturally aspirated, vertical water-cooled 4-cylinder diesel engine, it provides approximately 42.1 hp (31.4 kW) at 2800 rpm. The engine is known for its mechanical fuel injection system, robust construction, and ease of maintenance, suited for industrial and construction applications.
The SD25 offers excellent maneuverability with an inside turning radius of 84.6 inches, an articulation angle of ±35 degrees, and an oscillation angle of ±12 degrees, enabling smooth operation on uneven terrain and confined spaces. It has a compact footprint, approximately 10.42 feet in length, 4.12 feet in width, and 7.39 feet in height to the top of the cab, with a wheelbase close to 5.49 feet. With a rated operating weight of 5,873 lbs including ROPS, it achieves a gradeability of 75%, capable of handling challenging slopes. Its max travel speed is around 5.3 mph, fueled by a 12-gallon tank and supported by a 15-gallon hydraulic fluid system. Additional features include an adjustable front drum scraper, excellent operator visibility, and vibration-isolated anti-slip platform for operator comfort and safety. The SD25’s design emphasizes durability, efficiency, and operator ergonomics, making it a dependable choice for soil compaction tasks.
