A vibratory compactor for a work machine, includes a support frame that defines an interior space and includes a base disposed at a lower end thereof configured to contact a work surface. A guide member is attached to the support frame. A vibratory mechanism includes a vibratory housing and includes a contact plate. The contact plate is configured to compact the work surface. An excitation device is configured to vibrate the contact plate. A guide opening is formed through the vibratory housing configured to movably receive the guide member and to permit the vibratory mechanism vertical movement relative to the support frame. At least one biasing member is disposed between the support frame and the vibratory housing and generates a selected force between the support frame and the vibratory housing when the base is in contact with the work surface.
