In the Trenches with the Vermeer RTX 1250

The RTX1250 offers contractors a powerful, yet versatile unit they can use in a variety of applications – including gas, fiber and electric utility installations. The unit’s quad track system can help enhance productivity by allowing the operator to work in a broader range of weather and ground conditions, making every day a work day. A wide range of attachments – from a variety of trenchers and plows, to a 52” (132.1 cm) rockwheel, helping the contractor attack a variety of jobs

QUAD TRACK ADVANTAGE The optional quad track system offers improved floatation, reduced surface damage, increased tractive effort and greater stability.
IN CONTROL Common controls across the entire RTX lineup help operators become more efficient and productive and help lessen training time.
AN ATTACHMENT FOR EVERY JOB The RTX1250 has an arsenal of attachments — including rockwheels, plows, combos, trenchers, backhoes and reel carriers — to match many applications.
MAKE SENSE OF YOUR TRENCH When difficult ground conditions cause a sudden drop in engine speed, the TrenchSenseTM electronic control system automatically pauses the tractor’s forward motion to prevent engine shutdown and recalibration of the controls. Once the preset speed recovers, forward AutoCreep resumes.
KNOWLEDGE ON DISPLAY An integrated display allows the operator to optimize machine performance by adjusting operating attachment and ground drive parameters using machine diagnostic information — including engine rpm, fuel level, battery voltage, engine coolant temperature and engine hours.
INCREASED POWER When the RTX1250 engine drops from 2500 rpm to 2300 rpm under load, the horsepower increases from 120 hp (89 kW) to 127 hp (95 kW), allowing the ride-on tractor to run at maximum horsepower in work mode.
