You can't beat a roller for compaction although that Bomag ped roller is a crock of shit to use, it is so awkward and antiquated, the control are not smooth whatsoever - I'd never buy or rent one.

I'd get complaints (and I do) about water pooling on new bitmac like that, even though the levels & falls are all good; I have to tell them that oil and water don't mix - when it cures/oxidises the water will run off better! I could write a book about it LOL
