Abstract
A concrete surface working machine includes a base portion and a screed head mounted at the base portion. The screed head includes a grade setting device and a vibrating element attached at a frame of the screed head. The screed head includes a rock tamper adjustably attached at the frame of the screed head via a pair of support elements. The screed head includes a pair of actuators that, when actuated, adjust the support elements to adjust the rock tamper relative to the frame. The concrete surface working machine is operable to position the vibrating element at the concrete surface. The actuators are selectively controlled by an operator of the concrete surface working machine to adjust a height of the rock tamper relative to the vibrating element and the concrete surface while the screed head is moved along the concrete surface.
