ABSTRACT:
A dirt compacting and asphalt compacting roller unit of sufficient weight for utilization in compacting fill dirt introduced into a ditch to fill the ditch, and for utilization in compacting hot asphalt subsequently applied over the previously compacted fill dirt. The roller unit comprises a smooth-surface circumference drum shape roller with concentrically positioned shaft protruding laterally on each side. The roller has two or more detachable dirt compacting plates having multiple exteriorly projecting protrusions which, when the plates are attached to the roller, become the exterior circumference of the roller and act to compact fill dirt when the roller with plates attached is repeatedly rolled over fill dirt within a ditch. When the plates are detached, the smooth-surface circumference of the roller acts to compact hot asphalt when the roller's smooth-surface circumference is repeatedly rolled over hot asphalt subsequently applied over the previously compacted fill dirt. The roller unit additionally comprises an open cube-shape housing frame holding the roller at each side of the roller by securement to the roller's protruding concentric shaft in a manner to permit the roller to rotate. The frame has attachment means attachable to a controllably moveable loading bucket of a self-propelled loader vehicle or optionally attachable to an extension frame means attachable to the loading bucket. The housing frame also houses a tank for water and a water transmission line therefrom to selectively permit the flow of water over the roller for cooling. The housing frame additionally houses one or more scraper brushes and one or more scraper blades, each positioned to be selectively pressured against the roller to remove unwanted matter adhering to the smooth-surface circumference of the roller when the detachable dirt compacting plates are removed and the roller is rotated.
