Product Snapshot: Compact Excavator and Vibratory Roller
The Spectra Precision RD20 Wireless Remote Laser Display works with Trimble's LR laser receivers to provide grade information to the operator in the machine cab. Colored LEDs and an audible alarm show whether the blade is high, low or on grade. User settings on the display include plumb indication, blade tilt, laser offset and blade slope. The RD20 is compatible with Trimble's LR30W, LR50W and LR60W laser receivers. The display can be used on skid-steer loaders, backhoes, excavators, bulldozers and trenchers.

The BW100AD-4 Light Tandem Roller is powered by an Interim Tier 4, 32.6-hp Kubota engine. The roller can deliver up to 8,350 lb of centrifugal force per drum at a maximum frequency of 4,200 vibrations per minute. A standard crab walk function allows the rear drum to be offset by up to 1.6 in. to either side, allowing for greater maneuverability around obstacles. A redesigned, smaller steering wheel allows for a clearer view of the indicators and controls, and a laterally sliding seat lets the operator keep an eye on the drums.
