2024 Vermeer® Compost Turners CT718

2024 Vermeer® Compost Turners CT718

The CT718 compost turner sets new standards for efficiency, productivity and ease of operation. Operator comfort and efficiency have been enhanced — including new controls, an easy-to-read control display, along with side and rearview cameras. Plus the main frame with a lower machine height for better transportability.

Features may include:

Updated controls display and panel

Read all control gauges at a glance with a new controls display style and full instrument panel.

Flexxaire fan pitch

Reduce horsepower consumption — Flexxaire fan pitch automatically reads the engine temperature and adjusts itself as needed.

Reduced space requirements

Reduce the space required between the windrows with narrow tires, and the auto-height adjust feature allows for user-automated adjustment of drum height from the cab.

Side- and rear-view cameras

Improve operator visibility with side- and rear-view cameras.

Rear curtain

Control windrow material deflection with rear curtain that can be lowered from the cab and strapped down for easier machine transport.

Aggressive flails and drums

Shorten the composting cycle and increase throughput with aggressive Vermeer flails and drums that help provide proper aeration.
