Information

2024 Vermeer® Trenchers, Plows, Rockwheels PTX44

The ride-on, center-articulated PTX44 is designed for installing fiber optic, electrical, gas and irrigation services.

The PTX44 is a versatile machine that meets the needs of underground utility contractors, municipalities and landscaping professionals.

Powered by a 46.8 hp (34.9 kW) Kubota water-cooled gasoline engine, the PTX44 has 88.7 ft-lb (120.2 Nm) of torque to plow, trench or bore.

Features may include:

Maximum productivity
  • Features a dedicated plow [24 in (60.9 cm) maximum installation depth] with the option to utilize a forward-mounted trencher [42 in (106.7 cm) maximum trenching depth and 6 in (15.2 cm) maximum trenching width] and/or bore attachment.
In control
  • Electronic controls allow the operator to preset the creep speed to optimize performance on longer distance installations, enhancing productivity while helping to reduce operator fatigue.
Jobsite visibility
  • The operator’s station is located at the center of the service plow directly above the machine’s articulation point, providing excellent visibility of the work area.
Serviceability
  • Access to hydraulic and engine oil filters does not require removal of any shielding, making service and preventive maintenance more efficient.
