The Vermeer VX50-500 vacuum excavator for utility potholing from McLaughlin has a no-hassle hose configuration and a Kubota Tier 4 Final engine with a common fuel rail system. The no-hassle hose allows contractors to hang the suction hose on the side of the machine when moving between job sites, instead of coiling or disconnecting it, increasing productivity and reducing operator fatigue. It has aluminum blower and water belt tensioners that keep consistent pressure on the belt, extending its life and making it easier to service. It comes with a cam-over rear door, three-stage cyclonic filtration system and in-tank washdown system. 800/435-9341; www.mclaughlinunderground.com.
