This 2021 machine is offered in used condition from Pennsylvania, USA, and carries serial number CAT00815JJ5T00121. The seller describes it as being in excellent, like-new condition, with 813 hours recorded as of 22 March 2023, making it a low-hours example for its age.
Power is provided by a Cat C7.1 ACERT Tier 4 Final engine, meeting current emissions regulations for North American operation. The operator's environment is a deluxe cab with joystick control, providing a comfortable and precise working environment suited to extended shifts on demanding sites.
The machine is equipped with a 12-foot 4-inch straight blade with tilt functionality, enabling the operator to manage and redistribute material ahead of the drum passes. The 39-inch padfoot drums deliver compaction coverage of 60 feet per wheel, a figure that reflects the machine's productivity across large compaction areas. Operating weight is 49,652 pounds, placing it firmly in the class of full-size soil compactors capable of high-energy compaction on substantial earthworks projects.
