SC30TX stump grinder: innovative, easy-to-use, powerful

Vermeer SC30TX stump grinder

Innovative, easy-to-use, and powerful — three adjectives that succinctly describe the Vermeer SC30TX stump grinder. With a focus on ease of operation, the compact design of the SC30TX offers intuitive controls, minimal service points and the performance of a machine that gets the job done.

Two individually-controlled tracks enable the zero turning radius of this compact stump grinder. Each 7-inch (17.7 cm) wide track is operated by its own control lever for intuitive operation. This, along with its compact 35-inch-wide (88.9 cm) footprint, contributes to easier maneuverability in tight spaces and reduced yard disruption.

A dependable, electronic fuel injection (EFI) 25-horsepower (18.6 kW) Kohler engine makes choke cable obsolete on the SC30TX. This in turn offers enhanced starting — especially in cold weather — compared to carbureted gas engines. The Kohler gas engine also produces the necessary torque for challenging ground conditions and stubborn tree stumps, is fuel-efficient and easy to maintain.

The 16-inch (40.6 cm) cutter wheel on the SC30TX is positioned in the center of the unit for easy alignment with the stump, and the optional SmartSweep™ control system monitors engine speed and automatically adjusts cutter wheel sweep to reduce engine and structural stress.

A Vermeer-exclusive Yellow Jacket™ cutter system offers extended life of cutting teeth and easy maintenance as each tooth provides two full wear cycles, while its universal design can fit any position on the cutter wheel. A chip containment curtain directs cuttings to a pile and away from the operator.
