With its 35.5-inch drum width, the LeeBoy BR36 vibratory asphalt roller is designed for efficient compaction for asphalt construction and maintenance projects.

The vibratory system, which offers 3,825 pound-feet of centrifugal force and 4,000 vibrations per minute, enhances compaction efficiency by quickly settling asphalt material, the company says.

It is powered by a 20.8-horsepower Honda engine and has a hydrostatic transmission for precise control over speed and direction for a smooth mat. It has a 14-inch curb clearance, a 10-foot, 6-inch outer turning radius and 30% gradeability.

The water tank features a pressurized water system, a stainless steel bar with adjustable nozzles, folding and spring-loaded scraper bars and a cleanable water filter.

Other standard features include oscillating articulated steering, a parking brake, foldable ROPS, a backup alarm, an hour meter, a fuel gauge, a beacon light and work lights, a sliding and adjustable seat with a seatbelt and a lockable dash.
