Billy Goat "Force" Blowers
Featuring a proprietary polymer housing, Billy Goat Industries' new Force blowers weigh 20 lbs. less than standard walk-behind blowers. Model F900S has a 9-hp Subaru EX engine and weighs 138 lbs.; F900H has a 9-hp Honda GX and weighs 143 lbs.; and F1300H has a 13-hp Honda GX and weighs 160 lbs. Newly designed fan and housing provide increased performance. All models feature 10-in. pneumatic wheels 2.75 inches wide on the front and 13-inch pneumatic wheels 5-inches wide in the rear. Options include a parking brake and lock-down kit.

Wacker 2.5-ton Rollers
Wacker's new 2.5-ton class ride-on RD 27 roller series includes the RD 27-100 (39.4 inch drum width) and the RD 27-120 (47.2-inch drums). Two vibration frequencies allow the operator to match the centrifugal force needed for the job. The exciter frequency is controlled by the throttle lever, which adjusts the centrifugal force to the high or low position. Contractors can compact subbase at high centrifugal force and then simply change to the low setting for asphalt/layers. Front drum or dual drum vibration.
