Description
Bradco / Paladin built
Padded sheepsfoot drum
2,085 lbs operating weight
Overview
This Bradco padded drum roller attachment uses a sheepsfoot drum to compact cohesive soils in lifts — where a smooth drum would seal the top without compacting what is underneath. The 66" drum model has an operating weight of 2,085 lbs and delivers up to 9,370 lbs of dynamic force, with a vibrating weight of 935 lbs. It mounts on a standard skid steer quick attach.
Key Features of the Bradco Padded Drum Roller Attachment
- Padded (sheepsfoot) drum — the pads knead cohesive soil rather than sealing the surface.
- Operating weight 2,085 lbs on the 66" drum model, with a vibrating weight of 935 lbs.
- Delivers up to 9,370 lbs dynamic force.
- 66" drum in a 72" overall width, 31" high and 39" long.
- Working widths 36" to 84".
- Hydraulic drives protected and isolated.
- A skid steer compaction roller for soil, not surface — a padded drum compactor earns its place on trench compaction roller work and lift-by-lift fill.
- A sheepsfoot roller attachment in the traditional sense: a pad foot roller drum, which is what a padded roller skid steer setup uses to reach depth.
- A soil compaction attachment rather than a finishing one — the pads are the whole reason to choose it.
Why Choose This Padded Drum Roller Attachment
- Sealing is not compacting. A smooth drum on clay produces a firm-looking surface over soft material; the pads are what get the compaction down into the lift.
- Three weights, three meanings. Operating weight 2,085 lbs, vibrating weight 935 lbs and dynamic force 9,370 lbs are different measurements — only the first tells you what your loader must carry.
- Lift thickness matters more than passes. A padded drum compacts a limited depth per lift; going thicker to save time leaves soft material below.

Smooth Drum or Padded Drum?
Bradco builds this roller in two drum types. They share the frame and the drive; what changes is the drum surface, and that decides which soil and which stage of the work each suits.
| Roller | Drum | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth Vibratory | Smooth drum | Finish grade, sport turf, turf construction — a sealed, even surface |
| Padded Vibratory | Padded (sheepsfoot) drum | Compacting cohesive soils in lifts — the pads knead rather than seal |
For sealing and evening a finished surface rather than compacting soil in lifts, the smooth vibratory roller is the finish-grade tool. Grading before compaction is work for the tilting dozer blade.
Which Machines Fit This Padded Drum Roller Attachment?
This roller fits a standard skid steer quick attach and requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit. Its operating weight is 2,085 lbs on the 66" model — that is the figure to check against your rated capacity, not the 9,370 lbs dynamic force, which is a measure of vibration output.
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Mount | Skid steer quick attach |
| Operating weight | 2,085 lbs (66" drum) |
| Hydraulics | Required — drum drive and vibration |
| Dynamic force | Up to 9,370 lbs |

Padded Vibratory Roller Questions, Answered
When should I use a padded drum instead of a smooth one?
On cohesive soils — clay and silt — being built up in lifts. The pads push into the material and compact it from within. A smooth drum would seal the surface and leave the lift soft underneath.
What is the actual weight of this attachment?
2,085 lbs operating weight on the 66 inch drum model. The 9,370 lbs figure is dynamic force, which measures vibration output rather than mass.
What is vibrating weight?
The portion of the machine that actually vibrates — 935 lbs here. It is a third published figure alongside operating weight and dynamic force, and all three describe different things.
How thick a lift can it compact?
That depends on the soil, but a padded drum works a limited depth per pass. Building thicker lifts to save time is the usual cause of soft material left below grade.
Will a pad foot roller leave a rough surface?
Yes — that is expected. The pads leave indentations, which is why a padded drum builds the subgrade and a smooth drum finishes it.
