SC48TX Stump Cutter Features & Benefits

Chews through a lot

The 48-hp (36-kW) diesel engine delivers optimal fuel economy, durability and performance for efficient stump cutting of all sizes.

This direct-drive system delivers the maximum amount of power to the cutter wheel and requires minimal maintenance.

Exclusive SmartSweep control system monitors engine load, providing continuous feedback for a smooth, consistent cutter wheel sweep rate, maximizing efficiency and productivity while minimizing machine wear and tear.

With exceptional straight-line cutting dimensions, the SC48TX can tackle stumps big and small efficiently, with minimal need for repositioning.

Jobsite flexibility

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.

Optional chip blade efficiently moves chips around the jobsite, reducing the need for manual relocation. Its design allows easy access through narrow gates and travel on uneven terrain, while minimizing turf damage.

Optional remote control enables operation of the machine from a distance and enhances jobsite visibility.

Operator safety

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

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