I am considering buying a trench compactor or a large 10k+ reversible plate compactor.

I just saw this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/2004-Wacker-RT5...hind?hash=item3ca5ec370d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Am I going to find a better deal then this?


Right now I have a wacker plate that hits at 6800lbs but need something heavier.

Tgeb i know what they go for new.

You know what types of jobs I do. Would you say I am better with a large plate or one of these guys?

I'm not worried about the finsh it leaves as I always do finaly base prep for walls/pavers with the smaller compactor.

Yea I am nervous about the price.


I can get a plate compactor that hits as hard as the trench compactor. But what will be better at compacting subsoil?
