Awesome compactor used it for first time doing asphalt pothole patching did 3 tons of 1/2 in minus worked great was efficient on gas went through to tank fulls of gas, was very easy to start throughout the day,cheaper than renting one

Several quality issues: heat shield bolts rattled loose immediately; could not keep them tight enough, removed heat shield. Manual said to use 30w oil normally, but to use 10w/30 oil only below 15F, but tag on engine said to fill with 10w30 weight oil. I used 15w-40 oil, works fine. Carb was set to deliver approximately 3000 rpm, and I had to adjust a cable and screw fitting to get 3500 rpm out of motor, which was necessary to get machine hopping and moving. Carb jet was too loose, reset and engine smoothed out. Carb was full of oil from soaked air cleaner, I disassembled entire air intake system to clean out oil. After all that - 2 hours work - machine did exactly what I bought it to do - beat the heck out of and smooth out the gravel base of my driveway (adc stone with fines.)
