Why did you buy the plate if you don't want it ??

What are the pin sizes on it ??

That's a heck of a deal.

Won't fit my excavator.
looks like you could easily get twice the price.

The top one is a sheep's foot roller, and the bottom one is a vibratory plate compactor. Both are excavator attachments. I'm a little surprised you havn't seen them, since they're normally used in our conduit ditches to put the dirt back to the right compaction.

I've seen those Rockrams all the time at auctions and they go cheap. Not sure how good they are or how reliable. We really don't need one.

I don't stick around for that racket ...a helper is fine: "Watch the pipes, stop the operator and call me if ANY of our stuff moves or breaks".
