With a redesigned, slim rectangular profile tank, the new Vermeer MX300 mixing system helps HDD contractors optimise productivity and offers customisable mounting configuration options.

\n\n

Equipped with a 23 hp Kohler ECH 7300 EFI gas engine that outputs 1,324.9 lpm of flow, the MX300 mixing system power unit can be paired with up to two tanks at once to help decrease time spent mixing and refilling drilling fluid tanks. The unit’s narrow rectangular tank design also helps maximise fluid volume, and a small footprint can help with convenient transporting and storage.

\n\n

“The Vermeer MX300 mixing system is an upgrade to the MX240 model,” said Tod Michael, product manager of trenchless products at Vermeer. “With the ability to use one pump with one or two tanks, the MX300 is scalable to a contractor’s jobsite needs from small bores to large-diameter and longer-distance HDD applications in varying soil types.”

\n\n

The new Vermeer mixing system can be paired with a 2,839.1 l or 3,785.4 l tank and works with a variety of HDDs. It features a wide-mouth hopper and suction hose for the convenient pouring of drilling additives. The tapered bottom of the rectangular tank design helps prevent additives from settling, building up and assists with efficient drainage. At a width of just 101.6 cm, the MX300 can be mounted to transport two tanks inside a standard-sized enclosed truck.

\n\n

The MX300 comes with a 60.6-l fuel tank and is convenient to service with access to the roll jets through the top of the tank and two drainage points that are operated by two accessible valves.

Vermeer’s new RTX1250i2 ride-on tractor boasts intelligent controls and interchangeable attachments to help maximise productivity for utility installation work.

\n\n

Based on the prior RTX1250 ride-on tractor design, the new RTX1250i2 features the latest in technology to make it more convenient to operate, be more efficient on the jobsite and reduce the amount of time it takes to swap out i2 attachments.

\n\n

“The new RTX1250i2 ride-on tractor is an evolution in productive utility installation equipment,” said Ed Savage, product manager at Vermeer. “It features cutting-edge advances in intelligent controls to help contractors do more with one machine while improving job performance. The intelligent features help the operator maintain optimal efficiency.”

\n\n

The controls on the RTX1250i2 deliver several productivity advantages, including Productivity Zone, Auto Plunge, TrenchSense electronic control system and EcoIdle engine control system.

\n\n

Productivity Zone intelligent feature identifies the ideal operating range and ground speed for the rear attachment being used to optimise machine production. With a flip of a switch, the Auto Plunge technology monitors engine rpm and reduces the rate of plunge automatically for a trencher or rockwheel attachment so that the rpm does not drop too far.

\n\n

The onboard TrenchSense electronic control system helps prevent engine stall when working in challenging ground conditions. It actively monitors engine rpm while trenching and it will automatically pause the tractor’s forward creep if engine rpm drops or the trencher chain stops.

\n\n

The EcoIdle engine control system can help reduce fuel consumption by automatically lowering the engine’s speed to an idle if the tractor has not been active for 30 seconds.

\n\n

Vermeer has made it more convenient to customise and reconfigure the RTX1250i2 with intelligent i2 attachments that can be switched out in as little as 60 minutes. The self-identifying i2 attachments communicate with the tractor and the machine’s controls are then adjusted according to the operational needs of the attachment.

\n\n

Furthermore, the RTX1250i2 comes with an optional remote control for convenient maintenance and trailer loading/unloading. Powered by a 95 kW Deutz diesel engine, the machine offers efficient power for high load installs in difficult ground conditions and provides a quieter ride than similar-sized tractors, said Vermeer.

\n\n

The D220x300S offers a maximum thrust/pullback rating of 978.6 kN (220,000 lbs), enabling operators to work in a variety of ground conditions and settings. With a small footprint, the machine is also ideal for use in congested areas while allowing operators to move it around jobsites easily and quickly.

\n\n

The D220x300S has a spacious cab and an operator station with intuitive dual joysticks for simple operation. The rig provides a 40,675 Nm of rotational torque in low speed and can stage five rods at a time, minimising jobsite time spent loading rod.

\n\n

A sliding vise helps clamp the rod connection at different positions, allowing operators to utilise the vise for maximum efficiency when reaming or pulling product. The optional telescoping crane reduces the amount of support equipment needed onsite.
