how often do you use one? Wouldn't it be easier to hire one in every now and then?

You need the heavest plate you can move around, small plates mean more passes to get compaction,big plate less passes job done quicker more money in the skyrocket,if you what quality to do the job buy a wacker, if you want a cheapy get it from ongabonga land on ebay MSH

we've got a 178kg diesel wacker quite an old model but still going strong well worth the initial investment, buy the best tools you can afford worth it in the long run
