FEATURES & BENEFITS
Extra-wide conveyor opening
Heavy-duty trencher handles pipeline projects with high-volume spoil removal through an extra-wide 36-in (9-cm) dirt conveyor opening.
Increased digging chain life
Increase digging chain life with features such as high-alloy bottom trencher boom wear strips and optional boom-top rollers.
Low-speed, high-torque motor
Solid rock trenching is more effective than ever with less wear due to its low-speed, high-torque, splined headshaft motor.
Optional auto tilt track
An oscillating track frame allows the track to follow the ground’s contour, providing a vertical trench on slopes up to 10.5 degrees.
Optional warranty
Vermeer Vantage Track Extended Care Service Program offers an optional 3-year/3000-hour or 5-year/5000-hour heavy equipment warranty on the components of the closed-loop hydrostatic system.
Rotary power trencher drive motor
Dual rotary power motors provide low-speed high-torque rock cutting performance, giving you superior penetration and lower chain wear.
