Trenching And Shoring
Vermeer RTX450 Ride-On Tractor Trencher
The RTX450 is a 49 hp diesel ride-on utility tractor with tire or quad-track undercarriage choices. Equipped with the TR455 center-mount trencher or SO455 sliding-offset trencher, its published attachment range reaches 60 inches deep and 12 inches wide. TrenchSense pauses forward travel when chain load pulls engine speed down, then resumes AutoCreep when speed recovers. The offset attachment adds 24 inches of lateral adjustment for working beside obstacles. Basic tractor dimensions and weights exclude the separately specified trenching attachments.
