Features & benefits of the Vermeer PTX44
- A dedicated plow with a 24” (60.9 cm) maximum installation depth, with the option to utilise a forward-mounted trencher, with a 42” (106.7 cm) maximum trenching depth and 6” (15.2 cm) maximum trenching width, and/or bore attachment.
- Electronic controls in the Vermeer PTX44 allow the operator to pre-set the creep speed to optimise performance on longer distance installations, enhancing productivity while helping to reduce operator fatigue.
- The operator’s station is located at the centre of the service plow directly above the PTX44’s articulation point, providing excellent jobsite visibility.
- Access to hydraulic and engine oil filters does not require removal of any shielding, making service and preventative maintenance more efficient.
