No rear overhang

Wacker Neu-son’s newest ride-on asphalt rollers – the RD 12-90, RD 12A-90 and RD 16-90 – offer a variety of enhancements. RD 12 rollers eliminate overhang on the back of the machine through a redesigned frame and operator’s platform and use of a pressurized water system. The RD 12-90 features Wacker Neuson’s 20.5-hp WM 650 engine and the RD 12-90A comes with an 18-hp Honda engine. Both models weigh 2,490 pounds and have a 35.4-inch-wide drum. These rollers offer 3,400 pounds of centrifugal force in the front vibrating drum and the rear drum can be ballasted. Also new is the larger RD 16-90. This new 1.5-ton diesel-powered unit offers the same new features as the RD 12 series. It is powered by a reliable 26.8-hp Lombardini diesel engine. The unit has an operating weight of 3,274 pounds, and with both the front and rear drums in the vibration mode, it can produce up to 6,800 pounds of total centrifugal force. The centrifugal force of the RD 16 has been increased 30 percent over previous models.
