Description
Bradco / Paladin built
Smooth drum
Up to 9,370 lbs dynamic force
Overview
This Bradco skid steer vibratory roller uses a smooth drum and is built for finish grade, sport turf management and turf construction. Working widths run 36" to 84", and it delivers up to 9,370 lbs of dynamic force. The hydraulic drives are protected and isolated. It mounts on a standard skid steer quick attach.
Key Features of the Bradco Skid Steer Vibratory Roller
- Smooth drum — seals and evens a surface rather than kneading it.
- Working widths 36" to 84".
- Delivers up to 9,370 lbs of dynamic force.
- Hydraulic drives are protected and isolated, which matters on a machine that vibrates continuously.
- Built for finish grade, sport turf and turf construction — Bradco's own stated applications.
- A turf roller attachment and a compaction roller attachment in one: a smooth roller skid steer operators use where the finished surface is visible.
- Sold as a smooth drum roller attachment — the skid steer roller to choose when the finished surface is what people will see or play on.
- A vibratory roller for skid steer turf work, and a sports turf roller in its published application.
Why Choose This Skid Steer Vibratory Roller
- Drum type decides the job, not the size. A smooth drum is for the final surface; a padded drum is for building it up in lifts. Using the wrong one wastes passes.
- Dynamic force is the working number. It is the force the drum delivers in vibration, and it is not the same as the attachment weight — a distinction worth keeping straight when comparing rollers.
- Isolated drives last longer. Vibration destroys unprotected hydraulic components; isolating them is what keeps the machine serviceable.

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 compacting cohesive soils in lifts rather than sealing a finished surface, the padded vibratory roller uses a sheepsfoot drum. Grading before compaction is work for the tilting dozer blade.
Which Machines Fit This Skid Steer Vibratory Roller?
This roller fits a standard skid steer quick attach and requires an auxiliary hydraulic circuit to drive the drum and vibration. Bradco publishes no operating weight for the smooth drum models — the 9,370 lbs figure is dynamic force, which is a different measurement and should not be used as an attachment weight when checking your loader capacity.
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Mount | Skid steer quick attach |
| Hydraulics | Required — drum drive and vibration |
| Dynamic force | Up to 9,370 lbs |
| Operating weight | Not published for the smooth drum models |

Smooth Vibratory Roller Questions, Answered
What is the difference between smooth and padded drums?
A smooth drum seals and evens the surface, which is what finish grade and turf work need. A padded drum kneads cohesive soil in lifts to compact it from within. They are different stages of the same job.
Is 9,370 lbs the weight of the roller?
No — that is dynamic force, the force delivered in vibration. Bradco publishes operating weight, dynamic force and vibrating weight as three separate figures, and no operating weight is published for the smooth models.
What working widths are available?
36 to 84 inches. Match the width to your machine and to the surface you are finishing.
Does it need hydraulics?
Yes — the drum drive and the vibration are both hydraulic, so an auxiliary circuit is required.
Can one roller do both finish and compaction work?
Not well. If most of your work is building subgrade in lifts, the padded drum is the right tool; if it is finishing surfaces, this one is. Buying the wrong drum type costs passes on every job.
How many passes does a surface need?
It depends on the material and moisture content, so no fixed number applies. Watch the surface rather than counting: once further passes stop changing it, more will not help and may loosen what you have achieved.
Does vibration have to be on all the time?
No. On some finish work a static pass without vibration gives a smoother result, particularly on a surface that is already close to final. Vibration is what drives compaction downwards.
Why are the hydraulic drives isolated?
Because the machine vibrates continuously by design. Unisolated hydraulic components fail early under that, so isolating them is what keeps the roller in service rather than in the workshop.
