Shoe, Honda GXR120","description":"\u003cp\u003eA plate compactor is the wrong tool in a trench. Plates vibrate a wide footprint across the surface; a \u003cstrong\u003erammer\u003c\/strong\u003e hammers a narrow shoe straight down, which is what actually compacts cohesive soil — clay, silt, mixed backfill — in the confined space around a pipe or against a foundation wall.

The GXR is Honda's \u003cstrong\u003epurpose-built rammer engine\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to run at the steep angles and constant pounding a jumping jack subjects it to — not a general-purpose GX with a different sticker.

Drive is through an \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic centrifugal clutch\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the shoe sits still at idle and engages as the operator opens the throttle.
