Vermeer LM-42 tearing through the ground in rocky Northern Michigan

Just a few miles from Calcite Limestone Quarry in northern Michigan. We put the Vermeer LM 42 through the test as we plow in a 3000 foot drop.

Appreciate you guys helping make civilized life possible for the rest of us. I’m a dealer tech for Vermeer Midwest in Kalkaska mi.

Vermeer tractors and machines are top level.

I’ve got rock like that here in SE Oklahoma. Pain in the ass, even with my Vermeer V8550a.

man thats a massive drop my company will only cover the cost of up to 2k feet on a new customer but anything after that they have to pay i did one on a hunting camp not long ago it was right at 2k ft was only able to give them 4meg bonded internet service but it was still impressive to get them that considering they were 14k feet out at their serving terminal plus that 2k foot drop lol our drop bury crew uses the same exact machine here in florida they got it easy out here nothing but sand

this is Don here. It was a good day. I think it went fast doing that job.

[@lazorbeak]

When you out there working hard it always does, fun too lol

[@WiltonWanderlust]

I think four and a half to do that job was not bad with all the rock's.

Nice. I'm an irrigation contractor in S.E. VA. How's the reliability and serviceability on the Vermeer? Thanks.

[@WiltonThinlineTrenchingSpade]

It's a solid machine. I'd change the fluids once a year, keep it greased and run it. I ran this one for 4 years and only ever had it not start twice. The alternator went bad and I had to jump the battery after I shut it off... Left jumpers from the truck on it for a few minutes then started the machine and loaded it. Put a new alternator on it n was fine. The second time was due to a safety switch that went bad. I've never had to leave it set in the field overnight.

What kind of machine to use for 36 inches deep?

[@MidwestOutlaw86]

Damn hoss

[@rocsvt1]

[@WiltonThinlineTrenchingSpade]

rocsvt1 this machine or a maxi sneaker will run 24" deep no problem.

It’s like he planned to make the video. But got nervous once they started recording.
