2025 Vermeer® Stump Cutters SC552

2025 Vermeer® Stump Cutters SC552

The 56-hp (41.2-kW) Rehlko diesel engine is the next step up in performance and power delivery at the stump.

The SC552 is able to traverse in difficult terrain thanks to the differential locks that maintain pulling power during an uneven wheel traction path.

The SmartSweep™ control system helps improve efficiency and productivity at the stump while helping to minimize wear and tear on the machine.

A standard backfill blade minimizes the need for manual cleanup on the job.

On graded terrain, the SC552’s footprint maximizes stability and provides a consistent cutting experience.

Without the dual wheels installed, the SC552 is only 35 in (89 cm) wide, allowing it to enter narrow backyard gates and access tight jobsites.

Options for both the Vermeer cutting system (VCS) or Yellow Jacket™ cutter system give you the choice to select the wheel that is right for your operation and ground conditions.

Reduce maintenance time through features like hinged doors and removable panels that give you easy access to service pumps.

The operator presence system allows the cutter wheel to automatically stop when the operator releases the hydraulic cutter wheel controls.

The swing out control station helps protect the operator from thrown objects while providing optimal visibility at the stump.

VermeerOne™ Platform isn’t just a tool or platform. It’s an experience — one designed to simplify equipment management, empower users with real time data to make smarter decisions, and help maximize productivity and profitability.

Features may include:

  • Impressive cutting dimensions
  • Powerful performance at the stump
  • Standard features for the stump grinding professional
