Abstract: A vibratory roller is journalled from a frame portion of a vehicle of the compaction-type and the roller includes a generally cylindrical outer face. A plurality of circumferentially extending lug bands are carried by the roller outer surface and are disposed in laterally spaced zones of the outer face spaced longitudinally of the roller and in which diametric planes of the roller lie. The lug bands are comprised of lugs including outer surfaces disposed at least substantially normal to intersecting radii of the roller and generated about the axis of rotation of the roller. The outer surfaces are at least substantially circumferentially continuous about the roller and extend in zig zag paths contained in the aforementioned zones.
