Vemeer Forestry Mulcher

[tonyoz]

I have just been told that Vermeer is developing a new forestry mulcher and that it's being trailed somewhere in Canada. Anyone else heard this rumour?:fishing:

It's simply a rebadged Terex PT110. That's it.

OK, was told it's a ground up build around 200hp.

Not aware of any 200hp machine unless they plan on branding one. I do know they entered into some sort of agreement to brand the Terex PT110 to sell through their dealer network.

Maybe a Gyrotrac or or Gator?
I've seen plenty of Terex machines at Vermeer with mulcher heads on them but hadn't heard about a dedicated machine. Is Supertrac still in business? Maybe they are building something under the Vermeer brand?

Vermeer will be branding a Terex PT110 with their own colors and decals.

There are building a dedicated machine 200+ hp. Its a ground-up build. Definitely NOT a Gyrotrac!! They have been there, done that. Also yes Supertrak is still in business. There website has a scaled down offering though.

So they're really jumping in...a branded Terex and a dedicated unit. Good for them.

I would rather stick with horizontal grinders and feller butchers hahaha!! Had enough of mulcher headaches!!

I recall reading an article stating that Vermeer purchased the writes from a company in Canada to build mulchers. I don't recall the name of the company though. I believe these were in the 300 to 500 HP range though.
