Features and Benefits
- Read all control gauges at a glance with a new controls display style and full instrument panel.
- Reduce horsepower consumption — Flexxaire fan pitch automatically reads the engine temperature and adjusts itself as needed.
- Transport easier with a 12.5' (3.8 m) machine height and folding ladder.
- Reduce the space required between the windrows with narrow tires, and the auto-height adjust feature allows for user-automated adjustment of drum height from the cab.
- Improve operator visibility with side- and rear-view cameras.
- Control windrow material deflection with rear curtain that can be lowered from the cab and strapped down for easier machine transport.
- Shorten the composting cycle and increase throughput with aggressive Vermeer flails and drums that help provide proper aeration.
- See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
