Abstract
A vibratory compactor attachment for mechanical equipment, such as an excavator or backhoe. The attachment includes a support frame which is pivotally attached to both the boom and the tilt arms of the excavator. One end of the support frame carries a scraper blade that can be used for leveling soil prior to compaction. A drum frame is connected to the support frame and a compaction drum is mounted for rotation on the drum frame. To vibrate the drum, an exciter is mounted on the drum frame and resilient isolation mounts interconnect the support frame and the drum frame to minimize the transmission of vibration to the support frame.
