Abrégé

A ground compacting machine (10) includes a tamping assembly (12) that includes a tamping foot (14) configured to oscillate in a vertical direction for compacting soil. A drive assembly (16) includes a motor (18) connected to the tamping assembly (12) for driving the oscillating movement of the tamping foot (14). A control assembly (42) includes a controller (46) for controlling operation of the drive assembly (16). A vibration damping assembly (64) is located between the control assembly (42) and the tamping assembly (12) for damping vibrations to the control assembly (42) from the tamping foot (14) during movement of the tamping foot (14). The vibration damping assembly (64) includes at least one vertical damper (76) oriented generally in the vertical direction for damping vibrations in the vertical direction, and at least one horizontal damper (70,65) oriented generally in a horizontal direction being perpendicular to the vertical direction for damping vibrations in the horizontal direction.
