Vermeer has introduced the PTX44, a versatile and powerful rubber-tyred trencher that the manufacturer says has been engineered to optimise performance on a variety of job sites. 

There is also an equivalent Vermeer PTX44 (Crawler chain) version and full specifications for both machines are accessible to PS Plant Specs Online subscribers.

With its focus on productivity, control, and serviceability, the PTX44 is ideal for contractors working in landscaping, utility installation, and irrigation projects.

The PTX44 comes equipped with a dedicated plow that allows a maximum installation depth of 60.9cm. 

Additionally, it provides the option to add a forward-mounted trencher that offers a maximum trenching depth of 106.7 cm and a trenching width of up to 15.2 cm. 

This versatility makes the PTX44 a go-to machine for installations requiring trenching, plowing, and boring capabilities.

To improve efficiency on longer-distance installations, the PTX44 features electronic controls that allow operators to preset the machine’s creep speed. 

This feature helps to optimize performance while reducing operator fatigue, ensuring consistent and efficient operation on extended tasks.

The operator’s station is positioned at the center of the machine, directly above the articulation point, giving the operator a clear view of the work area. 

This strategic location improves visibility and allows for better control, enhancing safety and precision on the job site.

Service and maintenance on the PTX44 are made easy, as access to the hydraulic and engine oil filters does not require the removal of shielding. 

This design reduces downtime and ensures preventive maintenance can be carried out more efficiently.
