Top 100: Keeps Operators High and Dry

Sept. 28, 2010

New to Vermeer's product offering, the S600 ride-on skid-steer loader features a chariot-style operator compartment for lateral support and increased protection. This design, with cushioned operator platform, provides excellent visibility and keeps the operator out of work-site debris. Full-boom interlock prevents the boom from lowering when the key is off. The S600 is the only machine to offer 25 horsepower in a diesel unit, according to the company. Digging bucket height is 79.5 inches, and trenching depth is 3 feet, with widths ranging from 5 to 10 inches. Estimated list price: $15,000 to $20,000.
