Dual Cat® engines deliver 1,200 hp (895 kW) to the machine
Smooth, quiet ride for the operator in the typically harsh environment of a mining operation
Conduct surface mining extraction, remove ground surface, or create a smooth, level area for site preparation
Features may include:
Improved design to maximize functionality and reduce wear
Drive motors attached directly to the cutter drum improve efficiencies and reduce wear associated with chain, sprocket and belt transmissions.
Top-down cutting
Top-down cutting, as developed by Vermeer, allows the cutter teeth to gain penetration without using the machine’s tractive effort to drive the teeth into the material.
Advanced technology for improved machine efficiency
SmartTEC performance monitoring assists operators with adjustments to machine controls to help improve efficiency and tracks the operational performance of the machine on a consistent platform across all machine models.
Optimal mobility and stability
The T1655III dual tracks and low center of gravity allow for maneuverability and stability over the changing and diverse surface conditions.
