2R Packmaster (1959-present) A little over a decade after the landmark Packmaster was introduced, Leach introduced the 2R, a unit unlike anything that had ever been built. Additionally, models built since 1963 had full ejection using Leach's unique clamp & release "Push-Out" system. Consider that the 2R remains in production to this day (2R-III), and that the majority of rear loaders in use worldwide use the basic 2R slide/sweep compaction method.
