John Deere TC-Series Trencher
Attachments Enhance
Productivity
Designed to fit the needs of construction and
landscaping professionals, John Deere debuted two
additional trencher models, TC36 and TC48, to its
family of attachments. The TC Series is compatible
on John Deere skid steers and compact track loader models, as well as most competitive models.
Intended for lower duty cycle customers in
agricultural and light construction applications,
the TC Series comes with several configurations
to match most soil conditions or trench
requirements. To ensure enhanced productivity,
come equipped with a spring-loaded trencher
boom that reduces system shock.
The carefully designed frame provides easy
ingress and egress during use. The crumber
boom pulls loose soil into the trenchers, and
an auger removes spoils from trenches,
increasing productivity on the job.
A robust digging chain can be used for tough
conditions, and the integrated skid shoe helps
stabilization while trenching. The angle indicator
on TC36 and TC48 provides an optimal trenching
angle for more accurate and precise digging.
By incorporating a low-profile drive system
and side-shift, trenches will be nearly
flush after every use.
"We continue to expand our collection of time
and cost-saving attachments by incorporating
cutting-edge solutions that benefit our customers
on the job site," said Jessica Hill, program

Vermeer now offers three years of telematics
service on all of its industrial equipment lines. This
standard package includes access to operating

hours, GPS location and geofencing capabilities
to help crews work more efficiently and help
contractors maximize their equipment by staying
informed about the service needs of their fleets.
In addition, the company introduced new
tiers of telematics packages across all of its
industrial product lines that incorporate machine
performance information, as well as many other
data-driven metrics.
While telematics has been offered throughout
the construction industry for several years, Vermeer
is one of the first to roll out an initiative that spans
so many niche industries and machinery categories.
"We are committed to creating data-driven
solutions focused on the needs of all the markets
and customers we serve," explained Brad Ausman,
product manager for Vermeer Intelligent Worksite.
"To do this, we are talking with contractors and
our dealers to shape data into insights that can
be acted upon and that will add value to our
customers' businesses."
