This Cat 815B is the definition of "work-ready." With only 10,833 total chassis hours, it features a newly fitted 6-cylinder diesel engine (Cat 3306) that has been professionally installed with all-new "seashells" (main/rod bearings). To match the mechanical refresh, the machine has been finished with new paint, giving it a professional look that matches its performance.

The transmission is running excellent, and with the high-production "Goats Leg" (tamping foot) wheels, this machine is designed to hit compaction density in fewer passes than standard rollers. Combined with a massive 147-inch straight blade for knockdown work, this is a dual-purpose beast that is ready for immediate deployment on any heavy civil or residential site.
