ACE ASD 115 vs JCB VM117: Which One to Buy?

The ACE ASD 115 is the more powerful machine, with a bigger engine, a bigger fuel tank and the ability to climb steeper ground. The JCB VM117 is built more for fleet use, with telematics fitted as standard, a longer warranty and steering built for precise, easy control.

If your sites have steep grades or you want maximum power for heavy soil compaction, the ACE ASD 115 gives you more room to work. If you run a fleet and want to track machines, get a longer warranty, and value low emissions, the JCB VM117 is set up for that out of the box.

ACE ASD 115 Soil Compactor

Pros:

High power output of 112 HP allows for handling tough compaction tasks
High static linear load of 30.52 kg/cm for effective soil compaction
High centrifugal force options (254/176 kN) to accommodate varying compaction needs
Versatile hydrostatic drive with a wide range of working (0–29 km/hr) and travel speeds
Higher maximum gradeability of 45% for working on steep slopes
Larger fuel tank capacity of 315 L for extended operation times
Optional telematics for equipment tracking and management

Cons:

Telematics not standard which may be a disadvantage for fleet management
Lower ground clearance of 450 mm compared to the JCB VM117

JCB VM117 Soil Compactor

Pros:

Efficient JCB engine meeting CEV V emissions standard
Slightly higher static linear load (30.96 kg/cm) for better compaction
Telematics as standard feature aiding in fleet management and operational optimization
Servo-assisted center articulation steering for precise control
Greater oscillation (±15°) allows better surface contact in uneven terrain
Larger drum shell thickness (28 mm) for better durability and drum life
Longer warranty of 2 years / 2000 hours for peace of mind

Cons:

Lower engine power of 74 HP may result in lower productivity in certain operations
Lower maximum gradeability of 28% may limit performance on steep inclines
Smaller fuel tank capacity of 300 L potentially means more frequent refueling

Closing Recommendation

Both these compactors handle soil work well, but they are built for different priorities. Choose the ACE ASD 115 when you need more raw power, a bigger fuel tank and the ability to work on steep ground. Choose the JCB VM117 when you want telematics and a longer warranty built in, along with steady, low-emission performance. So match the machine to your work: ACE ASD 115 for steep, heavy-duty compaction, JCB VM117 for fleet tracking and long-term cover.
