Operators can experience improved visibility of the windrows with side- and rear-view cameras.

The machine is constructed of structural steel tubing and plates. The durable frame adds rigidity to help prolong the life of bearings and drum shafts. Machine tunnels are built with steel plates to help protect and extend the life of the high wear zone.

Vermeer offers a series of flail options to match your material in order to maximize your composting process.

The mechanical belt-drive system maximizes horsepower efficiency to the drum compared to hydraulic-driven systems.
