A vibratory drive system comprises a rotatable drive shaft (17A) and an out-of-balance wheel (42) that is coaxial with and rotatable relative to the drive shaft. A rotary transmission system couples the drive shaft to the wheel in order to transmit rotational movement of the drive shaft to the wheel. The rotary transmission system comprises a shaft gear (44), a wheel gear (46), and intermediate gears (48A-F) coupling the shaft gear to the wheel gear. The intermediate gears are carried by a gear carrier (50) that is rotatable relative to the drive shaft, and are rotatable with respect to the gear carrier. The arrangement allows the phase angle of the out-of-balance wheel to be adjusted with respect to the drive shaft.
