Control system for compacting maching having blade

Abstract

A soil compactor comprises a frame, a compaction drum rotatably mounted on the frame, a drive mechanism for rotating the compaction drum, a blade mounted to the frame to push or level loads, a first sensor configured to monitor operation of the blade, a controller configured to receive output of the first sensor, and an output system connected to the controller and configured to generate an output signal indicative of an operating state of the blade based on output of the first sensor. A soil compactor comprises a frame, a compaction drum rotatably mounted on the frame, a drive mechanism for rotating the compaction drum, a plurality of isolation mounts connecting the drive mechanism to the compaction drum, a monitoring system configured to monitor wear on the plurality of isolation mounts, and an output system configured to generate an output signal related to usage of the plurality of isolation mounts.
