The Vermeer T1255 Terrain Leveler direct drive attachment combines raw cutting productivity with the ability to carefully extract what you’re after. With the drive motor mounted directly to the cutter drum, it maximizes work efficiency and reduces wear costs associated with other types of transmissions. Hydraulic low-speed, high-torque motors on each side of the cutter head dish out more direct drive power for improved productivity. The direct drive attachment offers a maximum cutting depth of 21” (53.3 cm).
Optional dust suppression system features an enclosed cutting head with two large vacuums to help reduce dust onsite.
SmartTEC control software displays the status of critical elements of machine performance.
Help improve efficiency through direct drive power while delivering more horsepower to the cutting drum.
Vermeer Vantage Track Extended Care Service program offers an optional 3-year/3,000-hour or 5-year/5,000-hour heavy equipment warranty on the components of the closed-loop hydrostatic system.
Vermeer dealers offer comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
