Vermeer

Vermeer introduces its RTX100 pedestrian trencher with an easy-to-use intuitive steering system and interchangeable tracks and tires for the landscape, utility and rental markets.

The RTX100 also features interchangeable tires and tracks, allowing the machine to be configured for maximum productivity in varying ground conditions.
