Stump cutter

The SC602 stump cutter features a Caterpillar C2.2 Tier 4 interim diesel engine that produces 60 hp and 142 foot-pounds of torque. A 12-gallon capacity fuel tank reduces the number of fuel refills in the field. The patented AutoSweep system monitors engine speed and automatically adjusts the cutter wheel sweep rate to maximize productivity and reduce premature wear. A direct driveline powers the cutter wheel, eliminating the need for belt-drive maintenance. The drive system gearboxes are connected by a driveshaft with U-joints, eliminating side loads and prolonging seal and motor-component life. The cutter wheel can achieve cutting heights of 24 inches above ground and 19 inches below grade. The tongue can extend up to 60 inches. A 49-cubic-foot chip containment system enhances backfill of the hole after stump cutting. www2.vermeer.com/vermeer/NA/en/N/
