Description
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. The modified operator presence handle design is now manufactured with a harder exterior to improve wear and appearance. This user-friendly handle system provides additional capacitance sensing capability and is intended to help protect the operator.
| Feature | Benefit |
| SmartSweep™ | |
| SmartSweep control system monitors engine load and provides continuous feedback resulting in a smooth and consistent cutter wheel sweep rate. | This feature improves efficiency and productivity at the stump while helping to decrease wear and tear on the machine. |
| Boom Symmetrical Cut Pattern | |
| The 35.5” (40.6 cm) cutter wheel sweep is centered in machine width. | The centered wheel allows for easy, intuitive alignment to stump. This allows chips to be easily contained by curtain. |
| Compact Footprint | |
| 35″ (88.9 cm) width with 7″ (17.8 cm) wide tracks. | Allows operator access through narrow gates or into tight areas. |
| Continuous Curtain Chip Containment | |
| Single rubber chip curtain. | Reduces cleanup needed by more consistently containing cuttings, directing them into a pile and away from the operator through entire sweep path. |
| Electronic Fuel-Injected (EFI) Engine | |
| 25 hp (18.6 kW) EFI Kohler engine. | Performs well during cold-weather starts, has reduced occurrence of engine flooding and provides improved fuel economy over comparable carbureted gas engines. |
| Horizontal Shaft Engine with Direct Couple Pump Stack | |
| 25 hp (18.6 kW) engine with horizontal output shaft. | Elimination of belt drives allows easier access to components and direct couple pump stack eliminates wear and maintenance when compared to most vertical engine installs. |
| Hydrostatic Ground Drive and Hydraulic Cutter Wheel Drive | |
| Elimination of belts and pulleys. | A hydrostatic ground drive and hydraulic cutter wheel drive eliminates belts and pulleys reducing maintenance time and cost. |
| Individually Controlled Tracks | |
| Two individually controlled tracks allow for counter-rotation steering. | Two independent tracks allow for less ground pressure and a zero turning radius increases maneuverability on confined jobsites. |
| Long Tracks | |
| 31.4″ (79.8 cm) tracks. | Long tracks provide lower ground pressure and improved stability, especially when traveling over obstacles such as curbs and during loading and unloading of the machine. |
| Low Ground Pressure | |
| Tracks provide low ground pressure of 3.4 psi (.2 bar). | Less disturbance of turf, better floatation in soft ground conditions. |
| Modified Operator Presence Handle Design | |
| Control handle for boom, swing and raise/lower is equipped with a new operator presence handle design which provides additional capacitance sensing capability. If the operator’s hand(s) leave the control for more than one second, the cutter wheel will disengage, come to a stop and the cutter wheel indicator light will go out. Cutter wheel can be re-engaged by actuating the cutter wheel drive switch regardless of engine rpm. | The increased sensing allows the operator more variability in where and how to grasp the handle. In addition, the new handle is now manufactured using an injection molded material for enhanced durability. This user-friendly system is intended to help protect the operator. |
| Tracked Undercarriage | |
| High triangular track design. | High tracks keep the drive mechanism out of the dirt therefore allowing less wear/contact with abrasive material such as sand and rocks. |
| Yellow Jacket™ Cutter System | |
| The SC30TX is equipped with Vermeer-exclusive Yellow Jacket stump cutter teeth. | The Yellow Jacket™ Cutter System is designed to provide fast, easy serviceability, as well as extended pocket and tooth life. |
