2024 Vermeer® Trenchers, Plows, Rockwheels RTX550
RTX550 is a versatile answer to many of your utility installation jobsite challenges.With your choice of rubber tires or a quad-track system, the RTX550 is equipped for most terrains. A wide selection of attachment options such as a trencher, vibratory plow and rockwheel, make it equipped for most job applications. An integrated system display is user-friendly, and a 65-hp (48.5 kW) Cummins diesel engine delivers all the power you need.
Features may include:
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.
- 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.
- Common controls across the RTX lineup help the operator become more efficient and productive.
- 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.
