The Wacker Neuson Hitch is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 Hydrostatic Vibratory Rollers, including standard and Traction Control configurations. As a direct OEM replacement, this hitch is sourced and manufactured to the exact specifications Wacker Neuson requires for the RD27 tandem roller series. Fitment covers the full range of RD27-100 and RD27-120 machine configurations, giving you confidence that is the correct part before you order.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Structural Integrity — Manufactured to the load-bearing and dimensional tolerances specified for the RD27 tandem roller hitch point, ensuring the connection holds under continuous compaction stress.
- Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to align with existing mounting points on the RD27 frame, so installation follows the original assembly sequence without rework or modification.
- Broad RD27 Series Fitment — Compatible with RD27-100 and RD27-120 models across standard Hydrostatic Vibratory Roller and Traction Control variants.
- Preserves Roller Articulation Performance — A correctly fitted hitch maintains the articulation and steering geometry the RD27 relies on for accurate pass alignment on asphalt and soil compaction work.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied under Wacker Neuson part number 5000161729, meeting the same material and finish standards as the original production component.
The hitch on a tandem vibratory roller serves as the structural pivot point connecting the front and rear drum sections of the machine. It allows the roller to articulate through turns while transferring the operational loads between both halves of the machine during compaction passes. A worn or damaged hitch can introduce play into the articulation joint, reducing steering accuracy and causing uneven compaction coverage — both of which affect surface quality and operator control on the job.
