The Wacker Neuson Steering Wheel is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 Hydrostatic Vibratory Rollers, including Traction Control variants. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part matches the original specification installed at the factory, ensuring correct fit and function on your machine. With multiple RD27-series configurations supported, part number covers a broad range of RD27 roller builds — confirm your machine number before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design tolerances, delivering the same steering feel, hub engagement, and column fitment as the part it replaces.
- Direct Hub Replacement: — Mounts directly to the existing steering column on RD27-series rollers with no adaptation needed — same bolt pattern, same hub bore.
- Broad RD27 Series Coverage: — Compatible with RD27-100 and RD27-120 Hydrostatic Vibratory Rollers, including standard and Traction Control configurations across multiple machine numbers.
- Responsive Operator Control: — A correctly functioning steering wheel keeps the operator's directional input precise and immediate, which is critical when maneuvering a tandem roller on asphalt or compacting near edges and structures.
- Operational Safety: — A worn, cracked, or loose steering wheel compromises the operator's ability to control roller direction accurately. Replacing it promptly with an OEM-spec part restores safe, predictable handling on the worksite.
The steering wheel is the operator's primary interface for directional control of the roller. It transmits input through the steering column to the machine's hydrostatic drive system, allowing the operator to guide the roller accurately across the compaction pass. On a ride-on tandem roller like the RD27, precise steering control directly affects compaction quality, edge alignment, and operator safety — a damaged or deteriorated wheel can introduce play or inconsistency in the steering response, reducing control and increasing the risk of an off-course pass.
