The BPTC70H forward plate compactor is designed for durability, with a cast aluminum guard to protect the clutch, and a ductile iron base for added longevity. This compactor has a fully enclosed frame, which protects the reliable Honda GX160 engine for maximum reliability. The plate covers a 16.5 by 21.4In. area, providing great coverage, with a travel speed between 65 to 82 feet per minute. It's even great on slopes up to a 35% climb gradient, and easily maneuverable with its compact design.
