That's the thing I really like about all these machines - for the most part, even if you totally beat on the thing and destroy the engine, 1 pulled belt and 4 bolts later, you have a new engine and almost a totally new compactor ready to go.
When I worked for a company 15 or so years ago we had a Mikasa - it was on the small side, but was extremely reliable. It was light enough that one person could drive it up to a screed pipe and lift it over the pipe while running...I can still do that now with the Wacker 1550's, but it's a little tougher. Can do it with the Bomag too, but it's so fast that quick hands are more important than a string back. And it's impossible with the Stone. Just too darn heavy.
Pelican - you have any big compactors? Something like the Wacker 3345, with 9hp, reversible?
