How The BT Reversible Plate Compactor 20" (Yanmar L100) Compares To Other Plate Compactor Options
Contractors evaluating heavy reversible plate compactors for the largest footprints usually face this question: should I get the 17" Honda GX200 model, the 18" Yanmar L70 model, or this flagship 20" Yanmar L100 for maximum coverage and compaction force?
Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | BT Reversible Plate Compactor 17", Honda GX200 ($3,726) | BT Reversible Plate Compactor 18", Yanmar L70 ($7,124) | BT Reversible Plate Compactor 20", Yanmar L100 ($12,898) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | Honda GX200, 6.5 HP | Yanmar L70 diesel, 4.7 HP | Yanmar L100 diesel, 6.5 HP |
| Fuel Type | Gasoline | Diesel | Diesel |
| Plate Size | 27.6 in. x 16.9 in. | 17.7 in. x 27.5 in. | 35.4 in. x 19.7 in., the largest in the BT lineup |
| Centrifugal Force | 6,071 lb. | 11,240 lb. | 11,240 lb. |
| Vibration Frequency | 5,400 VPM | 5,200 VPM | 4,400 VPM |
| Weight | 353 lb. | 573-1,014 lb. | 992 lb. |
| Travel Speed | 82 ft/min | 65-82 ft/min | 75 ft/min |
| Transport | Standard | Integrated hoist hook recess | Integrated hoist hook recess |
| Climbing Gradient | Up to 35% | Up to 35% | Up to 35% |
| Best Suited For | Mid-size jobs on gasoline power | Large footprints, aggregate base | Largest footprints, maximum plate coverage per pass |
Why The BT Reversible Plate Compactor 20" (Yanmar L100) Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a plate compactor, it's built with the largest plate in the entire BT lineup at 35.4 in. x 19.7 in., giving contractors maximum coverage per pass alongside a powerful Yanmar L100 diesel engine for the heaviest compaction jobs.
The BTPC405Y specifically addresses the needs of contractors compacting the largest footprints, aggregate bases, and granular soils who need maximum plate width to cover ground efficiently on big commercial jobs.
Maximum Plate Width Means Fewer Passes. At 35.4 in. wide, the plate on this compactor covers substantially more ground per pass than the smaller 17" or 18" models, meaning large commercial footprints and aggregate base jobs get compacted in fewer total passes.
Built For Durability On The Job Site
The cast aluminum belt guard protects the clutch from job site debris and impact damage
A ductile iron base adds long-term longevity compared to lighter stamped steel bases
The fully enclosed frame protects the powerful Yanmar L100 diesel engine for maximum reliability
Engineered For Practical Job Site Use
The hydraulic reversing mechanism allows easy forward and backward movement without repositioning the operator
Travels at 65 to 82 feet per minute, even on slopes up to a 35% climbing gradient
An integrated hoist hook recess makes the compactor easy to load and unload at job sites
Real Savings
The widest plate in the BT lineup reduces the number of passes needed on large footprints, saving significant labor time
Diesel fuel efficiency reduces ongoing fuel costs compared to gas-powered compactors of similar output
A ductile iron base and cast aluminum belt guard reduce the risk of costly damage from job site debris
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Contractors compacting the largest commercial footprints and aggregate bases can't afford a compactor that requires excessive passes to cover the ground. The BT Reversible Plate Compactor 20" is built with the widest plate in the BT lineup, a powerful Yanmar L100 diesel engine, and a hydraulic reversing mechanism, so it delivers maximum coverage and compaction force on the biggest jobs. For anyone compacting large-scale footprints on a regular basis, this is the compactor built to get through the job fastest.
