You Can See Clearly Now

Sept. 28, 2010

Climb into the operator's station of Bomag's BW161AD-4HF tandem vibratory roller, and you'll immediately note the wide-open visibility to drum surfaces, drum edges and spray bars. The view results from using slanted drum-support legs, and from tucking the new Deutz engine beneath the operator's station to allow repositioning water tanks. The 22,000-pound machine features dual-amplitude/dual-frequency capability, articulated steering with 6.7 inches of drum offset and a sliding, swiveling seat in the cabin with two steering wheels. Estimated list price: $143,900.
