The Vermeer-exclusive TrenchSense™ electronic control system helps you keep control, even in the toughest ground conditions.
Three drive configurations
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.
In control
Common controls across the RTX lineup help the operator become more efficient and productive.
