[@BigDan12]

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

[@NickPixelTV]

Mine had oil in it i opened it up to check after because there was a drip onto the box from it sitting on trailer i will pin this as a notice for people to check theirs I should of included that in the video 💪 thanks

[@AlexLincoln-oz2uz]

What oil does it call for? Looked in the manual and can’t find

[@BigDan12]

@@AlexLincoln-oz2uz I used the same as the engine, full synthetic 10w30

@MrBallinBalls i did some more research online….seemed from the little I could find your on the right track! It’s odd they don’t mention it…..maybe on purpose😂

How has it held up

Forget that compactor. What a beautiful truck.

[@NickPixelTV]

LOL Thank you PitPatrol appreciate that

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 ✌️ ❤️

Thank you okami! Appreciate you

[@erikafuentes4004]

Thanks for the review. We just purchased it.

[@patcb829]

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

[@NickPixelTV]

Lol the back side if it with disclosures was good 😁

[@Justin-Outdoors]

Spray the receipt with rustoleum clear coat

Dave Thank you my friend

[@ronfults3844]

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.

[@NickPixelTV]

Did you pick it up. Mine is still working well at our camp. I have more projects for it here soon and surely in spring. Thanks for spending time on a comment here

[@robburke8867]

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

[@NickPixelTV]

Thank you Rob! Appreciate your time here

[@Pablo_19_26]

Hows it holding up?

[@martyrutter3630]

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

[@NickPixelTV]

I think its going to work out well for the projects at hand ;)

[@kevinmaxam2414]

Nice video, lots of information

[@NickPixelTV]

Thank you MWO

[@xaviermontoya3082]

The wheels you could switch out for rubber tires at blains farm and fleet and maybe Menards to have beefier ones

[@dukewaxberg3869]

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

[@robojohn181]

Did you ever find out where to get a pad for pavers

[@HighAdventures]

I just use a piece of plywood ​@@robojohn181

[@bmfitzgerald3]

Awesome overview. Very helpful. Leaving in 15 minutes to see if I can put this 25% coupon to use on it

[@NickPixelTV]

Glad you found some value hopefully coupon works. Machine works well when I have it but have had 2 people borrow it already. Hopefully it comes back soon. lol Gotta help the neighbors :-)

Detailed information about product✅

[@sizemoretreeworks]

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

[@NickPixelTV]

I know a guy for the lids if you need one 🌲😉

[@ChuckWood-ou1nw]

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🤔

[@WillyB2122]

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

[@laurarosekrug777]

You’re welcome! Thanks for visiting

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

[@JosThoSul]

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.

[@SethFeliciaLogston]

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.

[@pm270100]

keep ya pixels in focus

[@NickPixelTV]

Mr block missed you hope you are well my friend

[@osvaldogerman2026]

Hello I barely bought one yesterday I did everything you did but there's white smoke coming out of it does anyone have an idea?

[@NickPixelTV]

Sounds like engine oil possibly got above the piston? Was it laying on its side or anything after adding engine oil?

[@red2965]

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

[@Raffaelo08]

Where is the water tank?

[@NickPixelTV]

In the base of unit

[@Raffaelo08]

@@NickPixelTV Can you please make a video showing the water tank? Thanks

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

[@bobbys4327]

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!

[@NickPixelTV]

I hear you i figured when the 6.5 went on sale that something new was coming sucks

[@Ibiron]

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