2025 Vermeer® Stump Cutters SC552
SC552 highlights- Impressive cutting dimensions
- Powerful performance at the stump
- Standard features for the stump grinding professional
Features may include:
Powerful performance- The 56-hp (41.2-kW) Rehlko diesel engine is the next step up in performance and power delivery at the stump.
- The SC552 is able to traverse in difficult terrain thanks to the differential locks that maintain pulling power during an uneven wheel traction path.
- The SmartSweep™ control system helps improve efficiency and productivity at the stump while helping to minimize wear and tear on the machine.
- A standard backfill blade minimizes the need for manual cleanup on the job.
- On graded terrain, the SC552’s footprint maximizes stability and provides a consistent cutting experience.
- Without the dual wheels installed, the SC552 is only 35 in (89 cm) wide, allowing it to enter narrow backyard gates and access tight jobsites.
- Options for both the Vermeer cutting system (VCS) or Yellow Jacket™ cutter system give you the choice to select the wheel that is right for your operation and ground conditions.
- Reduce maintenance time through features like hinged doors and removable panels that give you easy access to service pumps.
- Add the Confidence Plus® asset protection program with your initial purchase or within the standard 1-year warranty period. Financing maintenance expenses allows you to plan for fixed costs upfront.
- The operator presence system allows the cutter wheel to automatically stop when the operator releases the hydraulic cutter wheel controls.
- The swing out control station helps protect the operator from thrown objects while providing optimal visibility at the stump.
- VermeerOne™ Platform isn’t just a tool or platform. It’s an experience — one designed to simplify equipment management, empower users with real time data to make smarter decisions, and help maximize productivity and profitability.
