1940s
Wagon hoist
Company founder, Gary Vermeer, built a mechanical wagon hoist to unload grain faster, reducing backbreaking labor for farmers. That solution sparked a company dedicated to solving real-world problems with inventive, hardworking equipment.1950s
Stump cutter and Pow-r ditcher
In 1957, Vermeer introduced the first stump cutter, revolutionizing land clearing with a horizontal cutting motion. Around the same time, Vermeer created the Pow-R Ditcher to help farmers drain fields, marking its entry into trenching.1960s
Utility trencher
Vermeer launched rubber-tire and track trenchers to install underground utilities, supporting rapid suburban growth and making open-cut trenching faster and more efficient.1970s
Round hay baler
In 1971, Vermeer unveiled the big round baler, turning haymaking into a one-person job and producing bales nearly 10 times larger than traditional methods.1980s
Pipeline trencher
Vermeer introduced larger, more powerful trenchers capable of cutting through rock, enabling efficient installation of massive pipeline networks worldwide.1990s
Horizontal directional drill
In 1991, Vermeer entered horizontal directional drilling (HDD) with the Navigator® drill, pioneering trenchless technology that reshaped utility installation and positioned Vermeer as a global market leader.2000s
Surface miner
Vermeer Terrain Leveler® surface miners were engineered to offer a more precise alternative to drill-and-blast mining.2010s
Smarter solutions for evolving needs
Vermeer advanced innovation across multiple industries with groundbreaking solutions. GPS-enabled pile drivers supported the rapid expansion of solar farms, streamlining installation and improving precision. The ZR5-1200 self-propelled baler automated hay baling, helping producers save time and labor while improving forage consistency.2020s
Autonomous bale mover
Vermeer introduced an autonomous bale mover concept, aimed at advancing automation in agriculture and giving producers a smarter, more efficient way to handle forage.1940s
