A 500-pound SAE-rated operating capacity with a 1,430-pound tipping capacity gives the Vermeer S450TX a lot of muscle for its size, the maker says. A four-pump hydraulic system provides performance and efficiency when powering attachments. A single pilot-operated joystick is now integrated into the S450TX platform. The S450TX is offered in either a Kubota 24.8-hp diesel engine or a Kohler EFT 27-hp gas engine. www2.vermeer.com/vermeer/NA/en/N/
