Abstract
A suspension arrangement is provided for a compacting drum of a compacting work machine. First and second suspension members connect first and second ends of the compacting drum to a frame of the work machine. The first and second suspension members allow the first and second ends of the compacting drum to oscillate through an angle α about a horizontal axis relative to the frame.
