About Vermeer

The story of Vermeer is one of humble beginnings. Gary Vermeer started the company as a one-man operation in 1948 and it has been in his family ever since, selling equipment for use on industrial sites, construction sites, farms, and more. Name an industry, and Vermeer probably has a piece of equipment for it, including agriculture, utilities, mining, construction, pipeline, recycling, and lumber and forestry.

Focus On Forestry

For forestry applications, Vermeer manufactures forestry tractors, directional drills, mini skid steers, trailers, trenchers, and plows. The wide selection of equipment covers the needs of landscapers working on small-scale residential jobsites up to large, commercial clearing projects. Vermeer’s forestry tractors in particular are designed for flexibility and can perform forestry thinning to full right-of-way preparation. Buyers can typically choose between steel or low-ground-pressure tracks to fit the needs of their jobsite.

Material Handling

Vermeer offers a complete lines of brush chippers, horizontal grinders, stump grinders, and whole-tree chippers. Multiple knife options on the whole-tree chippers further help operators outfit the machine to ideally suit the task at hand. The brush chippers are powerful enough to process all kinds of materials, including hardwood branches. 

New models even feature remote control capabilities to more conveniently operate the chipper from a loader. Track, wheel, and towable stump grinders help landscapers remove stumps, while horizontal grinders provide professional support for large land-clearing projects.

Wood Chippers

Vermeer’s brush chippers, designed for arborists, contractors, and tree care companies, have the SmartFeed feed-sensing control system that efficiently processes wood debris and small- to medium-diameter logs and limbs. The EcoIdle engine control system automatically reduces engine speed after one or five minutes of inactivity to save on fuel and reduce noise.

One of Vermeer’s most popular towable wood chippers, the BC1000XL, is available in a gas brush wood chipper version and a Tier 4 Final diesel version. The gas model has a 72.4-horsepower (54-kilowatt) Deutz 2.9 L4 gas engine and an electronic fuel injection system for better performance in cold weather. A direct electronic pressure regulator provides enhanced control of fuel delivery and combustion.

The Tier 4 Final model has a 49- or 74-horsepower (36.5- or 55-kilowatt) engine, a 25-gallon (94.5-liter) fuel tank, a rubber torsion suspension for smooth towing, and a patented bottom-feed stop bar that enables the operator to stop the feed rollers and switch between forward and reverse operations.

Skid Steers

Vermeer’s mini skid steers are built with professional landscapers and tree care contractors in mind. Modern models range in operating capacities from 500 to 1,600 pounds (226 to 725 kilograms) and are built to maneuver effectively on difficult terrain. Vermeer also offers a selection of attachments that let landscapers and tree care specialists tackle specific tasks.
