Vermeer expands microtrenching lineup with deeper-cutting MTR726 attachment
Vermeer introduces the MTR726 microtrencher attachment, designed for contractors who need to install fiber optics at greater depths. The new attachment cuts trenches up to 27 in (68.6 cm) deep.

The Vermeer MTR726 microtrencher attachment cuts trenches up to 27 in (68.6 cm) deep and up to 3 in (7.6 cm) wide, giving contractors a solution for projects that require deeper fiber installation. Compatible with the RTX750 ride-on tractor, the MTR726 joins the MTR516 microtrencher, core saw and concrete reinstatement attachments in the Vermeer microtrenching lineup.

"We designed the MTR726 for contractors whose projects require them to go deeper," said Nick Olsen, product manager at Vermeer. "When regulations call for greater depth of cover, the MTR726 delivers the cutting performance contractors need while maintaining the features that make our microtrenching solutions productive."

The fully shrouded cutting wheel contains debris and optimizes vacuum suction, helping keep jobsites cleaner. The attachment features wheels with welded polycrystalline diamond cutter (PDC) teeth for fast, clean cuts in asphalt, single-lever depth control and up to 24 in (61 cm) right offset for cutting next to curbs.

Serviceability features help maximize uptime. The dual-hinged access panel provides easy access for blade servicing and replacement, allowing crews to change blades in as little as 25 minutes. Multiple bolt-in wear plates are field-serviceable, and the replaceable spoil outlet accommodates 4 in or 6 in (10.2 cm or 15.2 cm) vac hoses.

For contractors expanding their microtrenching capabilities, Vermeer now offers options to match different project requirements. The MTR516 remains the practical choice for installations up to 17 in (43.2 cm) deep with compatibility on both the RTX550 and RTX750 tractors. The MTR726 serves contractors who need additional depth capability, paired specifically with the RTX750.
