Abstract
A split drum is provided for a compacting work machine and includes a first and a second drum section. A support arrangement defines a housing that surrounds a vibratory mechanism and is adapted to support the first and second drum sections. The support arrangement comprises a first support member and a second support member that are rotatably connected. Rotational power may be supplied to the first and second drum sections through the use of a propel motor. The first and second drum sections may be rotated at equal speeds or different speeds relative to one another.
