A tire skirt support assembly for a compactor comprising a bracket and one or more skirt support members. The bracket can be oriented horizontally, and each skirt support member can have a body that is elongate with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. For each said skirt support member, the first end can be fixed to the bracket, and the second end can be below the bracket and is a free end configured to removably engage a skirt via an attachment opening in the skirt.

A roller assembly for smoothing an expanse of granular media such as golf bunker sand, snow, horse race track dirt, or other media. The assembly has one or more rollers having a longitudinal axis. Each roller includes wires spaced from the axis to define a roller surface. Each wire is resiliently flexible to distort inwardly in response to force of contact on, and to recover during release of force from, the granular media as the roller rotates about the axis on the granular media. A shaft extends along the axis of the roller assembly between the arms of a yoke with a handle extending therefrom. As the roller surface traverses the media, at least some of the media is flung outwardly of the roller, smoothing the expanse. The roller assembly may be manually operated or may be towed behind a towing apparatus.

The present invention relates to a ground compaction machine for compacting a ground, in particular a tandem roller, a single-drum roller, a rubber-wheeled roller or a trench roller, comprising a machine frame, at least one travel unit with a wheel or a roller drum, a travel drive for driving the travel unit, and a steering drive for adjusting the traveling direction of the ground compaction machine, the ground compaction machine comprising at least one electric motor. The present invention also relates to a method for operating a ground compaction machine.
