SC30TX

Vermeer this week introduced its SC30TX stump cutter designed for do-it-yourself rental customers. The SC30TX features an electronic fuel injection gas engine that performs well during cold-weather starts, reducing occurrence of engine flooding over comparable carbureted gas engines. In addition, two individually controlled tracks provide a zero turning radius.

The 27-hp Kohler EFI gas engine produces the necessary torque for challenging ground conditions and stubborn tree stumps. Its horizontal shaft design allows for easier access and maintenance due to the elimination of drive belts. The optional AutoSweep system monitors engine speed and automatically adjusts cutter wheel sweep to reduce engine and structural stress.

Vermeer Corp. sees growth opportunities in the rental market and has taken steps to modify its business operations to place more focus and resources into the rental industry. From enhanced manufacturing and design work, to increased staffing and marketing dollars, Vermeer is making a $1 million investment internally to support the rental market.

In the past, Vermeer struggled to develop a product line that met both the robust contractor requirements, yet fit within the rental market price point, a company release says. Vermeer is taking a new approach and will concentrate engineering resources to design equipment that will meet the specific needs, desires and price points of the rental customer.

Microtrenching is an installation method in which a narrow and relatively shallow trench is cut, typically on one side of an asphalt roadway. Trench dimensions range from .75′ – 2.25′ (19.1 mm – 57. 2mm) wide and 8′ – 16″ (20.3 cm – 40.6 cm) deep. While cutting, a vacuum system connected to the cutter wheel attachment cleanly diverts and transports the dry and dusty spoil away from the worksite. Once the conduit pipe is laid, the trench is back filled with a grout compound.

• Electronic ground drive control with auto creep enables precise tractor and attachment controllability helping to improve cutter wheel/tooth life and cutting efficiency.

Roger, recent D7×11 Series II drill owner out of Missouri, utilizes his Vermeer drill for installation of a variety of projects, including phone, cable and electric lines. When contacted by Vermeer and asked “If you needed to purchase another drill, would you buy a Vermeer and why/why not?” Roger responded, “Yes I would, I bought three [drills] over the last year. I would buy another because we have such a good relationship at the dealership. They are within five miles from me and they always get me in right away if I need something. They work really hard to keep all of our business.”
