I just got one too, the vibrator oil up front came empty, did yours come with oil in it?

My first job out of high school was running the Whacker plate on a asphalt crew fixing roads and building driveways, this brings back memories of hot hard work days. Stay elevated Nick Pixel ✌️ ❤️

*Love That Beginning Intro! Excellent Product Review!* 👏🏻

Thanks for the review. I had rented a plate compactor to do so touch up on a gravel driveway to see how it would work. I'd never used one before. The gravel was originally laid with a vibrating roller but it had started to get loose in a few places. I rented one of these to see how it would do repairing those spots. Did a pretty good job. I decided to buy one and use it to maintain my driveway. I was looking at buying this exact unit. You've helped make the decision for me.

Nick good to see you. Your a natural on you tube. Keep it coming if you can. Love to you and the family

Forget that compactor. What a beautiful truck.

Thanks for a good review. Nice truck!

Nick’s got a new toy! Nice demo and that looks like a good compactor hope it does the job for you. 👍

Nick good seeing you again. THUMBS UP 👍.

That looks formidable 👊🏻

I bought that compactor a while back. It works like a champ. And the wheel kit is definitely a bonus! Good video buddy.

I swear they print those receipts with disappearing ink, all the stores do it not just them. Looks like a solid unit.

Good video thanks for making it

Detailed information about product✅

4:48 Too funny! Looks like a nice piece of equipment to have around!👍

Nice video, lots of information

I saw this machine online just now and I might just get it for my small garden business! Beats using a tamper.

Nice addition to your property for up coming projects. Be safe and be careful

Nick. Your busier then a one handed wall paper installer hanger with an itch. Nice to see you on again brother.

My exciter drive came empty as well. 17mm socket for the plug. I used John Deere hy-gard till it ran out. No mention of this drive other than the exploded parts list in the back of the manual. It’s just a few bearings- I’m guessing anything is better than nothing… just something else to check out of the box🤔

Looks like a good addition to the tool crib! I’ll be over to borrow that sucker next week😂😭 Love ya brother ❤️🪓💚🔪

Going to get one this afternoon I guess on sale. That Ford is on 🔥by the way!

Hey, hopefully you haven't already answered something similar, but how do you think it would do on a out 4 inches of 3/4 minus? Going to be putting in a gazebo and want to lay down rock before I pour the pad.

Good one Nick……no fun to run in the dust 😏 where’s,the rain? Looks like a solid unit 👍💪👏🇺🇸 Rick

How steep of a hill can you run that on? I'm curious because our gravel driveway has a section with an incline and I'm wondering if this would handle that.

Nice overview Nick! How did the project come out?

Have you purchased a plate pad for doing pavers with it?

hi there nice tool . good show john

I can't find a Predator 7HP engine on the HF website, what engine is this?

Take a pipe cut a slot that will accommodate the top of the oil and drill a hole in the other end and put a rod in the otherside with the hole. Makes quick, easy work just make sure it's started correctly

I wish they would of added a water tank with this new style. Looks great otherwise!

keep ya pixels in focus

Where is the water tank?

F***ing figures, I bought the 6.5 HP one about 2 months ago and now they have a bigger one with wheels for the same price. Pisses me off!

Just got one, going to fire that pig up and work it like a red headed step child. Thanks for info...

very cool, you'll be able to pour all the concrete now. @harborfreight has some great options on some tools. nice lid.
