I have two stone jumping jackets one used as parts machine, now the other needs new carb which is not available so i am looking for a new one.
Anyone have a ST728R they want to sell?
Talked to a sales man whose company sells both Wacker and Bomag.
Informed me the Wacker has problems with it's fuel system. Pointed me towards a Bomag BT50 said better machine.
What do you think is the best jumping jack compactor?
Would appreciate your input.

Well I purchased a used, year 2020 Wacker BS60-4AS rammer, it shows 48.9 hours on the hour meter.
Ran it for a while appears in good shape so I pulled the pin and departed from $1879 dollars which works out to 50% of a new one. Time will tell if the machine is good. It is a step up from the Stone larger and in my mind more user friendly.
