7
Gradeability and Machine Control
The exclusive dual pump propel system, proven reliable on 500D-Series Soil Compactors,
provides superior performance, machine control and exceptional grade climbing capability.

Propel pump system. The two propel pump system has

dedicated pumps to drive the heavy-duty, high-torque
rear wheel and drum motors independently. Should the
drum or wheels begin to spin, there is always hydraulic
flow to the non-spinning motor, allowing continuous
tractive effort.
Controllability. Controllability is another feature of dual
propel pumps. The operator has complete machine control
to stop, maintain machine position and change directions
while on a slope. This feature is especially useful on steep
slopes and loose underfoot conditions.
Pressure valve. The pressure override (POR) valve limits
maximum system pressure by de-stroking the propel
pumps. This reduces pump flow while maintaining
system pressure. This lowers the horsepower draw
while accelerating the machine which saves fuel.

Padfoot Drum and Scrapers

Padfoot drums provide superior performance when compacting clays. Heavy-duty scrapers
break materials away from the drum surface to allow for deep penetration of the padfeet.

Padfoot drum. The padfoot drum has 140 pads welded on

the drum in a chevron arrangement.
Pad measurement. Each pad is 127 mm high and has a
pad face surface area of 89.4 cm2 to achieve high ground
contact pressure for maximum compaction.
Clean themselves. The pads are involuted to walk out
of the lift without fluffing or “kicking up” the soil around
the pads. Pads are tapered to help clean themselves.
Heavy-duty scrapers. The heavy-duty scrapers mounted
on the front and rear of the drum are individually
adjustable and replaceable. Helps to reduce excessive
material build up between the pads.

8

Optional leveling blade increases machine versatility and utilization,
plus greatly enhances productivity.

Machine versatility and utilization. Expands machine

versatility and utilization for use in material knockdown,
site leveling, trench backfilling and light dozing
applications.
Blade control. Blade position is controlled by
operator’s right foot, leaving the operator’s hands free to
control machine propel and steering.
Dual propel pumps. The dual propel pumps provide
plenty of power and tractive effort for effective blade
use without drum spin.
Cutting edges. Two-piece reversible and replaceable
cutting edges increase edge service life and reduce
replacement costs.
Curb and obstruction. High mounting point provides
superior curb and obstruction clearance.
Blade. No special permits for transporting with a blade
width of 2500 mm.

Padfoot Shell Kit
