Thanks for posting this! Just rented this unit, and it cane with no instructions. Vermeer does not distribute operator manuals unless you own the unit.

There might be a black plastic box right by the controls - that's usually where the operators manual is at. If not - if you have any issues, feel free to email me and I can reply back - it's my first and last names, no spaces or punctuation, at gmail

Wondering if you have a idea on how many metres per hour the trencher does when its trenching 250mm wide and around 600mm - 750mm deep.
@curtkopacek68593 жыл бұрын
Depends on the soil conditions. But 250mm wide and 750mm deep in average soils, I’d guess in the 300+ meters per hour range.

supposed to use cones to keep it neat
@curtkopacek68594 жыл бұрын
I actually try to get my loops to not lay directly on top of each other, rather I try to stagger them a bit, to decrease the odds of getting the fiber crossed up.
@leezy77873 жыл бұрын
Neat makes it easier to tuck and tangle. The fiber is formed to the reel over time and needs come off by itself. I've seen plenty meatheads use cones and twist and force the cable into a "neat" looking 8 and running circles sweating their assets off for no reason. I just stand there and hand over hand it and let it figure 8 itself just like the machine is doing in this video ez peezy

Sorry you’re having bad luck. I’d reach out to the local Vermeer dealer near you to see if they can assist.

@@curtkopacek6859 bad luck is you get hit by a bus I will say I finally did get with my local dealer and they where able to help. But as always they don't have the part and it will be three days if not longer. Now let's talk hydraulic pump motor and why you can purchase it alone no you have to buy the whole assembly. Now tank level senor that only lasted 3 weeks

Thats a messy figure 8.
@curtkopacek68596 жыл бұрын
Dustin Harris - yes it is, but it doesn’t matter. If you use the figure 8 fork that comes with the trailer, you will pick the fiber up cleanly every time with no snags. I should have showed that process as well.
@dustinharris85956 жыл бұрын
Its a nice thought, but We just figure 8, 14,000ft of 96count in panama city last night without one of these. Just 2 cones and a couple Puerto Ricans.
@curtkopacek68596 жыл бұрын
Oh it can be done without a machine, for sure. But we can figure 8 fiber at 700’ per minute with 2 guys and one machine. If you do it often enough the machine pays for itself. Plus this trailer will blow fiber, take up overhead wire, etc.
