RTX550 Ride-on Tractor

RTX550 is a versatile answer to many of your utility installation jobsite challenges.

  • Choice of rubber tires or quad-tracks.
  • Wide selection of attachment options.
  • User-friendly integrated system display.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

In control

Common controls across the RTX lineup help the operator become more efficient and productive.

Knowledge on display

An integrated system display allows the operator to easily monitor important machine functions, while the capability to monitor percentage of hydrostatic capacity use is especially useful when training new operators.

Make sense of your trench

The TrenchSense™ electronic control system can react faster than the operator to prevent engine stall/stop when difficult digging conditions are encountered. By eliminating the need to return controls to neutral and restart, productivity can be increased, and the whole sequence occurs within seconds.

Three ground drive configurations

The RTX550 is available in three ground drive configurations: a standard 31 in (78.7 cm) tire option, a 35 in (88.9 cm) tire option for enhanced flotation and quad tracks for reduced surface damage and increased tractive effort.
