Powered by a Tier 4 Final three-cylinder 25-horsepower engine, the DD25B conforms to EPA emissions standards without the added cost of an aftertreatment system. The DD25B delivers high frequency compaction with a choice of 3,300 or 4,000 vpm, depending upon the applica- tion. Angled drum mounts, a sloping hood design and a sliding seat ensure a 360-degree view of the drum edges when the compactor is rolling. The drums' chamfered edges ensure a smooth mat, and a consistent fl ow of water is delivered to the front and rear drum surfaces to eliminate asphalt pickup for a high quality fi nish. Additional features include a high capacity water tank that can be monitored from the operator's seat, adjustable interval between sprays and easily removable water nozzles. Maintenance is simplifi ed via long-life urethane front and rear drum wipers, and eccentric bearings that are lubricated for life and built to tolerate high temperatures and rotation speeds. An auto-start vibration engages automatically when the FSR level is moved out of neutral, disengaging when the lever is in the stop position. BRIGHT LIGHTS Repair lights in the fi eld with the Modular Light Balloon from 8:12 Illumination, which enables workers to quickly troubleshoot and replace components instead of tearing down the entire light setup. The balloon emits up to 440,000 lumens of 360-degree, non- blinding light, and is made from a special nylon material that allows the maximum amount of lumens possible to shine through. The bal- loon is fi re resistant, waterproof and wind resistant to 45 mph. The units are designed with a fan that cools the lamps while infl ating the balloon, and a built-in stabilizer prevents bulbs from loosening during transport. The lightweight, sturdy unit is available in 4,000-, 3,000- and 1,000-watt HID models, as well as a 2,000- and 1,000-watt halogen.
