With a 20.5 hp (15.3 kW) Kohler engine, the Vermeer RTX200 trencher machine is rated at a maximum digging depth of 36” (91 cm) and widths up to 6” (15 cm). The exclusive VZ steering on the Vermeer RTX200 offers enhanced features, providing additional leverage when operating on uneven or difficult terrain. The tandem effort of its heavy-duty hydraulic oil cooler and large reservoir help manage the system temperature for consistent performance, even in tough conditions. This trencher machine is available with a tyre or track option.
Features & benefits of the Vermeer RTX200 trencher machine
Ease of maintenance – maintenance is more convenient with the Vermeer RTX200 because of easy access to parts, including hydraulic hoses, hard lines, and fuse box. The plastic fuel tank reduces the possibility of condensation and corrosion, and the cover over the fan protects it from any direct power washing.
Exclusive VZ steering – this intuitive system allows the operator to guide the trencher machine in the intended direction of travel with minimal efforts. It eliminates the need for additional levers and steering wheels on the trencher machine, simplifying the overall operation. VZ steering provides additional leverage on difficult or uneven terrain.
High torque digging – to increase digging performance, this trencher machine offers more torque than lower-powered models.
Narrow width – because of the RTX200’s narrow width, it is able to access small and confined spaces, including easy operation through typical backyard gates.
Terrain versatility – this trencher machine is able to work through a variety of ground conditions and uneven terrain due to the options of tires or tracks. With the elimination of the tail wheel on a track machine, it provides improved balance when operating in tough areas on the job site.
