The CTX100 is designed to pair with the Vermeer AX19 chipper.
The CTX100 features vertical lift, which keeps the load closer to the machine, offering a higher lift capacity than a similarly sized radial lift machine. Vermeer has also increased the hinge pin height to 89.5 inches (227.3 cm) to make loading materials into a brush chipper, truck or trailer more efficient. The CTX reduces the amount of manual labour needed to load material into the machine, and the AX19 itself is designed to reduce the amount of chainsaw work required to break the materials down before they can be fed into the chipper.
The CTX100 has a tipping capacity of 2,958 pounds (1,334 kg) and a rated operating capacity of 1,035 pounds (467 kg). It has a 40 hp (29.8 kW) Kohler KDI Tier 4 Final diesel engine and a universal mounting plate to power a variety of attachments. There is also a choice between 7-inch (17.8 cm) tracks, which results in a 36-inch (91.4 cm) machine width — allowing for passage through most backyard gates — or wider 9-inch (22.9 cm) tracks.
The CTX100 features a chariot-style, ride-on platform. The operator’s station features a single, pilot-operated joystick for more intuitive and smoother operation. The spring-cushioned platform keeps operators out of the mud and debris and provides additional support when working in rough terrain. The operator presence system is integrated into the platform, in which the ground drive and attachment motion is suspended if the operator steps off the machine.
