2025 Vermeer® Stump Cutters SC852
SC852 highlights- Maximized cutting dimensions
- Feature rich for stump grinding professionals
- Designed to tackle tough jobs, day after day
Features may include:
Powerful performance- The SC852 stump cutter, equipped with a Deutz TD2.9L Tier 4 Final engine, delivers 74 hp (55 kW) of powerful stump grinding performance.
- A unique four-bar linkage maximizes cutting width by moving the cutter wheel away from the machine as the boom drops.
- SmartSweep™ control system helps improve efficiency and productivity at the stump while helping to minimize wear and tear on the machine.
- With ample ground clearance, the machine cruises over challenging terrain.
- Get into tight spots with side-mounted controls that are easy to reach, and an auxiliary control station that lets the operator lead or follow the machine through narrow confines.
- Without the dual wheels installed, the SC852 is only 35 in (89 cm) wide, allowing it to enter narrow backyard gates and access tight jobsites.
- Reduce maintenance time through features like hinged doors and removable panels that give you easy access to service areas.
- A standard backfill blade minimizes the need for manual cleanup on the job.
- Enhanced maneuverability during transport is achieved with variable drive speed, which also provides greater control while grinding.
- 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.
- 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.
