Maximizes cutting width because a unique four-bar linkage moves the cutter wheel away from the machine as the boom drops.
Get into tight spots – side-mounted controls are easy to reach, and an auxiliary control station lets the operator lead or follow the machine through narrow confines.
Reduce maintenance time through features like hinged doors and removable panels that give you easy access to service pumps and a direct drive hydrostatic pump that eliminates clutch and belt drive issues.
Protect your investment with a 3-year/3000-hour extended limited warranty on applicable gearboxes and driveline, and a 1-year/1000-hour Vermeer equipment limited warranty.
