1. A trench compactor assembly for use with a piece of equipment, comprising:

  • a compactor wheel having a rotational axis, a radius, and a peripheral compaction surface;

    a frame assembly comprising;

    one or more primary frame members having a first end disposed adjacent the rotational axis of the compactor wheel, a second end spaced apart from the peripheral compaction surface of the compactor wheel, and a length greater than the radius of the compactor wheel extending between the first end and the second end;

    one or more extension members having a first end, a second end, and a length extending therebetween, the first end engaging at least one of the one or more primary frame members, the second end extending from the at least one primary frame member in substantially fixed angular relation;

    a compactor mount engaging the second end of at least one of the one or more extension members, the compactor mount adapted to be selectively mounted to a piece of equipment, andan exciter disposed adjacent the second end of the one or more primary frame members such that the exciter is substantially aligned with the first and second ends of the primary frame members and the rotational axis of the compactor wheel, the exciter selectively actuated to generate vibrations.
