2025 Vermeer® Tub Grinders TG5000 - Tier 3
TG5000 highlights- Robust build quality for confident longevity
- Equipped with Vermeer innovations to help protect your investment and optimize efficiency
Features may include:
Proven performance- A large tub opening allows for loading of large amounts of material to improve productivity.
- The TG5000 is powered by a 540-hp (403-kW) Caterpillar® C15 Tier 4 Final engine, with a maximum fuel consumption of 27 gph (102 L/hr). A 540-hp (403-kW) Tier 3 engine option is available for lesser-emission regulated countries.
- The Series III duplex drum is built off the proven cutting performance of previous Vermeer duplex drum designs and makes maintenance more convenient with enhancements such as an independently secured wedge system and enhanced drum balancing.
- The loader’s electric-over-hydraulic controls provide the flexibility for an operator to use their preferred control configuration (Vermeer, SAE or ISO), as well as three operating modes with varying joystick sensitivity.
- Monitor real-time performance and data via the on-machine display or remote control.
- A reversing Flexxaire® cooling fan adjusts the pitch of the blades based on temperature, which can increase power and improve processing efficiency.
- The patented Thrown Object Restraint System (TORS) reduces the amount and distance of thrown objects and has a smooth underside for better material flow.
- 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.
