EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW
4.1 Product Description and
Application
The Spartan Equipment Skid-Pac is a
skid-steer- mounted, hydraulic powered,
vibrating plate compactor. It is used for soil
compaction. Applications include backfill
compaction, base course preparation, finish
surface treatment and embankment buildup.
Specifically designed for skid-steers,
installation of the Skid-Pac requires no
additional mounting or hydraulic kits. It’s
attached to the skid-steer in the same
manner as mounting a bucket. Power to
operate the Skid-Pac is provided by the
skid-steer’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
Suitable Skid-steers must have adequate lift
and hydraulic capacities to properly and
safely operate the Skid-Pac. Refer to the
specifications in Section 4.1 for operating
specifications and carrier requirements.
Contact your dealer or Spartan Equipment if
you have any questions regarding the
installation of this equipment.
4.2 Major Subassemblies
Figure 4-1 Major Subassemblies
1-Dynamic Assembly, 2-Suspension System, 3-
Mounting Frame, 4-Control Valve
The Spartan Equipment Skid-Pac consists of
the following major subassemblies:
Dynamic Assembly - Generates and
transfers the vibratory energy to the soil.
The assembly includes the hydraulic motor,
eccentric mass, bearings, housing and
compaction plate.
Suspension System –Rubber Spring
Mounts suspend and isolate the Mounting
Frame from the Dynamic Assembly.
Mounting Frame –Connected to the
Suspension System, the Mounting Frame
provides hook up points for attaching the
Skid-Pac to the loader arms.
Control Valve –A standard feature on all
models is the multi-function, hydraulic
control valve. The valve is designed to
optimize operation and provide reliability of
critical components, such as the hydraulic
motor and bearings. NOTE: The valve is
factory pre-set and requires no further
adjustments.
The valve offers the following protection:
Flow regulator - Prevents over-
speeding the hydraulic motor by limiting
the flow.
Pressure control - Prevents over-
pressuring the motor and other hydraulic
components. This is factory pre-set at
the maximum operating pressure plus
200 psi (14 bar).
Anti-cavitation circuit - Controls
deceleration of the hydraulic motor and
eccentric mass. Also protects motor
from damage on circuits not set up with
an open return.
Return line check valve - Prevents
reverse flow to the hydraulic motor.

SECTION 5.0
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
5.1 Skid-Pac
The Spartan Equipment Skid-Pac is a
high-energy compaction tool utilizing three
compaction techniques:
The Impulse Force generated by the
rotating eccentric mass vibrates the soil
near the base plate to eliminate voids
between material particles.
The Vibration Frequency of 2000
r.p.m. provides maximum effectiveness
for the consolidation and compaction of
granular soil materials.
The Down Force of the carrier provides
a preload force to effectively transfer the
vibrating energy and to compress the
material.
Optimum compaction is usually obtained
with two passes. The duration of the initial
pass is dependent on depth and material.
The second pass may require additional fill
material and Skid-Pac repositioning to
achieve a finished surface. Refer to the
Compaction Manual for further details.
5.2 Definition of Hydraulic Installation
Terms
For the purposes of this manual, Hydraulic
Flow, Operating Pressure, Dynamic Relief
Pressure and Static Relief Pressure are
defined as follows:
Hydraulic Flow –The quantity of oil
flow (measured in GPM / LPM),
necessary for the safe and efficient
operation of the Spartan Equipment
attachment.
The hydraulic motor performs in a
narrow range of flow. While it is
permissible to supply the Skid-Pac with
a lesser flow of oil, it is important to
realize that the vibrations generated by
the dynamic assembly are developed by
the speed of the hydraulic motor.
Therefore, reduced compaction
performance can be expected due to a
drop in motor speed. Typically, optimal
compaction performance cannot be
achieved unless the oil flow is at, or
slightly above, the specified flow
requirement of the motor. It is important,
however, not to exceed the specified
flow beyond 10%, as this will over-
speed the motor and shorten
component life.
Hydraulic circuit designs can differ from
machine to machine. Damage to the
Skid-Pac or skid steer may result if
installed improperly. The motor must be
sized according to the hydraulic output
of the skid-steer. Using a flow meter,
measure the auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
Select the motor that best matches by
comparing the measured flow to the
available motor options listed in the
Specifications Table.
IMPORTANT
Never use a relief valve as a means to
reduce the hydraulic oil flow to the
Spartan Equipment attachment. Oil by-
passed over the relief valve will cause
significant heat generation and result in
damage to the attachment and/or carrier.
Operating Pressure –The average
hydraulic oil pressure measured in the
supply line during normal operation
(under a load). Compaction
performance is reduced when the
minimum operating pressure is not
reached. If, however, the compactor is
regularly operated at pressures that
exceed the design limits of critical
components, a decrease in service life
can be expected.

Spartan Equipment Technical Manual Skid-PacTM 1000, 1000B
7
IMPORTANT
The Operating Pressure is not to be used
as a relief valve pressure setting. Poor
performance and significant heat
generation will occur.
Dynamic Relief Pressure - The
pressure when the relief valve first
“cracks”open and allows a small
amount of oil to by-pass through the
valve.
IMPORTANT
The carrier's hydraulic system shall be
capable of providing the desired oil flow at
a pressure equal to at least the dynamic
relief pressure.
Static Relief Pressure - The pressure
when the relief valve is fully open and
the entire oil flow is by-passed through
the valve. At no time is it permissible to
subject the Spartan Equipment
attachment to Static Pressures that
exceed the values listed in Section 6.
IMPORTANT
The relief valve is a safety device, used to
protect the circuit against hydraulic
overload. It is a required component.
When selecting a relief valve for Spartan
Equipment attachments,the pilot controlled
relief valve is better suited for high flow
applications. Pilot controlled relief valves
generally exhibit shorter opening curves,
compared to direct acting relief valves.
Opening Curve –The range or stroke of
the relief valve from the point that it first
cracks open (Dynamic) to when it has
reached the fully open position (Static).
Several factors influence the opening
curve, including spring rate, volume and
viscosity of the fluid passing through the
valve.
The cracking pressure (dynamic) is
always less than the static pressure. A
relief valve set to a dynamic pressure of
3000 psi (200 Bar) will crack open when
this pressure is reached, but fully opens
at a higher pressure.

(a) For efficient machine operation, proper selection of the Motor & Valve Package is critical. The auxiliary circuit
must be capable of delivering the specified oil flow at a pressure equal to at least the dynamic relief pressure.
(b) Verify the carrier’s main relief is set to the manufacturer’s specifications and that this value is equal or greater
than the dynamic relief setting.
(c) Working weight with and without optional weight kit (part number 572366).
(d) Mount only to Skid Steers having adequate load-carrying capabilities. The Skid Steer should weigh a minimum
of 4000 lbs. If the Skid Steer cannot provide sufficient down force, install the optional weight kit, part number
572366, for added ballast.
