42LMLM 42
Utility Plow/Trencher
Intelligent options for a
variety of functions
The tough Vermeer LM42 is built
to stand up to rugged use, while
retaining maneuverability and easy
operation. It is powered by a 42-hp
(31.3 kW) air/oil-cooled Deutz engine,
conveniently located dual operator
presence controls, and strike-
protected insulated handles for
added operator protection. An
all-around workhorse, the LM42
boasts plow-centering springs, a
servo-controlled ground-drive pump
and an extremely narrow profile that
fits through areas as small as 36"
(91.4 cm), depending on tire option.
Optional attachments give the
LM42 excellent versatility to perform
a variety of job functions. Optional
side weights adapt the machine to
various ground conditions for flexible
performance. Other attachment
options include: backhoe attachment
with center-mounted seat, boring
attachment, trencher, reel carrier and
rockwheel. When you are looking for
an easy-handling, great all-around
machine, the LM42 is your walk-along
solution.
For safety and operator
convenience, one of the two
operator presence controls must
be depressed at all times. If
operator presence system is not
engaged, trencher and ground
drive will not function.
Efficient a
Compact width and excellent
maneuverability make the LM42
a great multipurpose machine.
The center-articulated LM42
oscillates at the point of
articulation for increased stability
and performance on uneven
terrain. With its extremely narrow
profile, the LM42 will fit through
areas as small as 36" (91.4 cm).
Optional reel carrier accommodates
reels up to 16" (40.6 cm) wide and 150
lb (68 kg). The LM42 offers many
optional attachments to make your
work more productive.
