    I see one of these operates by an Irish road worker when I was a kid in the late 70’s early 80’s. Absolutely fascinating and still fascinates me today. Pure genius engineering..... really happy there are videos available of such equipment

    Crazy how these machine were being engineered 100 years ago and with all the knowledge we have available today I probably don’t know half as much as the innovators did then.

    I saw an instruction book on that thing once. It warns against one hand on the top as you lose control of the movement.

    I worked for an Irish contractor in the '70s and made around 6 working units from a host of spare parts lying around the workshop. Happy days.

    I used to have one of these when I was sett laying at the National Tramway Museum. Now that I work as a volunteer at Heaton Park Tramway in Manchester, do you know where I could get hold of one? I never felt in danger of having my toes tamped - the main risk seemed to be of it falling over onto you if the edge of the foot landed on a rock.

    I feel bad for his hearing now after years of this with no protection takes a toll. I know because I have tinnitus from when I worked in NASCAR for about 10 years and only had hearing protection when we had a radio headset on.

    Wouldn’t you use a vibrating roller for packing dirt in a decent size plot like the one cut out here?

      Do you mean a plate compactor? The machine in the video is old, nobody uses it anymore.

    • @jamesgroen5334
      @jamesgroen5334 4 месяца назад +1

      The first tool is used to compact soil and the other ones are Jack hammers
