About this machine
This 1988 Caterpillar 825C is a padfoot compactor — sometimes referred to as a sheepsfoot compactor — a heavy soil compaction machine used in earthmoving, road construction, and large-scale grading projects to compress cohesive soils and compactible fill to engineered density requirements. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for building heavy machinery that serves civil engineering, infrastructure, and resource extraction industries worldwide.
This particular unit is described by the seller as an 826C converted to 825C padfoot soil compactor configuration, and it is offered for sale or rent from its current location in Virginia, USA. The machine is equipped with a cab featuring both air conditioning and heat, providing year-round operator comfort. A straight blade is fitted, which aids in spreading and levelling material ahead of compaction passes.
The feet and cleaner bar are reported to be in great shape, indicating that the compaction components — the padfoot drums and the bar assemblies that clear soil from between the pads — are in good working order, which is a key consideration when evaluating a machine of this type. The seller also notes a significant production increase over the 815 Soil Compactor, suggesting enhanced compaction output and efficiency relative to that smaller class of machine.
