Overview
Reliable. Durable.
The CP74B provides exceptional performance for cohesive and semi-cohesive soil compaction applications.
Benefits
Lower Operating Cost
Up to 15% fuel savings with eco-mode, exclusive pod-style vibratory design offering 3 year/3000 hour service intervals, and a no-maintenance hitch with sealed-for-life bearings.
Up To 50% More Efficient
On-board compaction measurement helps take guesswork out of the process with exclusive MDP technology that gives compaction readings; scalable solutions including mapping and machine-to-machine communication keep jobsite connected.
Enhanced Operator Comfort
Visibility is enhanced by the new rear vision camera; standard tiltable steering column gives the operator more flexibility, and our integrated backlit display console turns with seat.
Features At A Glance
