I am using a 190 lb. plate compactor. Thank God it is not a rental, or else I would have spent a small fortune on it. I decided to buy it new, since I'm planning to build a patio in the backyard and do the driveway next year. I think it will pay off in the long run. As to the depth of compaction, even though the manual states it is good for 12 inches, so far I have compacted in 3"-4" lifts with good results. I also have a Wacker ground pounder (jumpin' jack). Do you think using the jampin' jack initially and finishing off with the plate compactor works better?
