Top 100: Drive System Delivers More Control

The Vermeer CC155 Concrete Cutter is designed for cutting streets for utility installation or pothole repair. It uses a hydrostatic ground-drive system that incorporates two hydraulic pumps and four hydraulic wheel motors to create, says Vermeer, "a true all-wheel-drive system." It is designed to provide torque to all four wheels in all speed ranges, which equates to better traction and less tire spinning during cutting — with the net results of more efficient cutting and longer tire life. The CC155 is powered by a 155-hp Cummins diesel engine. Estimated list price: $225,00 to $235,000.
