Vermeer has updated its RTX1250 ride-on tractor with several improvements to increase efficiency and performance.
The new enhancements include updates to the tracks, axles, plow valve and retention pins, cab roof and headliner, as well as the auto stabilizer feature for the rockwheel attachment.
The ride-on tractor is powered by a 127-hp Deutz TCD3.6L diesel engine and can be outfitted with a range of attachments for efficient installation of gas, fibre, water and electrical utilities.
Vermeer Product Manager Nick Olsen explained they have implemented a series of updates to the RTX1250 based on insights and recommendations from their customers in the field.
“These updates have been meticulously tested to deliver productivity in demanding environments,” Olsen said. “Vermeer is dedicated to consistently enhancing and refining their machinery to satisfy industry demands and customer needs. The latest version of the RTX1250 exemplifies this commitment.”
The RTX1250 is able to operate as a trencher, rockwheel or vibratory plow with interchangeable attachments. These can be switched out in as little as an hour, offering options such as a backhoe, backfill blade or reel carrier attachment for the front of the machine and a vibratory plow, rockwheel, sliding offset rockwheel, sliding offset trencher or a trencher for the back end.
Onboard tech
The tractor is equipped with several onboard technologies from Vermeer, including the TrenchSense electronic control system and the EcoIdle engine control system. These systems actively monitor the engine’s operations to promote smooth trenching, prevent stalls and optimize fuel efficiency.
The Productivity Zone feature and Auto Plunge technology of the RTX1250 enhance its performance by determining the optimal operating range and ground speed for the attachments in use by controlling the plunge rate for trencher or rockwheel attachments, respectively.
The RTX1250 is Vermeer Fleet ready, which means owners can optimize productivity by staying in sync with their machine’s operations. Vermeer Telematics allows for monitoring engine operating hours, idle hours, fuel usage, fault codes and the machine’s location. It also incorporates geofencing capabilities.
The ride-on tractor also prioritizes operator comfort and visibility. Its controls are located conveniently on the right-hand side, in line with the seat’s pivoting side.
The RTX1250 provides a quiet ride and features an isolated, cushioned operator’s platform. An optional climate-controlled cab is available for year-round operation.
Depending on job requirements, the ride-on tractor can be outfitted with rubber tires or tracks.
