Cub Cadet-VERMEER M147A Trencher Tractor
 

Here is a link to a video i posted on tou-tub yesterday. It is one of my Vermeer trencher Cub Cadets. Vermeer contracted with IH in the early 70's and purchased a few 147's and 149's, stripped down versions, no lighting or lift system. Vermeer took the tractors, added their own hydraulics and their trencher. They repainted and relabeled them with a data plate, stickers, etc. IH never sold them, Vermeer did at their dealerships. I have some sales literature from Vermeer. I will try and get to post some pictures later as well. Eric

Eric that's an awesome video! Looks like it works great too! How deep does it go? Looks like 2 feet or so in the video.:bigthink:

I really enjoyed your vid! Thanks for sharing.

That is very cool!:beerchug:

That works great. Thanks for sharing the video :beerchug:

Wow that was awesome!! I wonder why they called it a 147a, and not a 149a?

I want one!:biggrin2:

That seems a little deep to plant your corn. :biggrin2: Wow, that was a great video and a quick history lesson on Vermeer and Cub Cadet. I've seen pictures of them before but never seen them in action until now-Thanks for sharing your video!

Nice! Looks like it works great! :beerchug:

It digs 30" according to the manual. I'll be using it to lay some electrical line later this fall, it will be a good test!

Think I might could borrow it for a weekend? I need to lay my irrigation lines for the garden...:bigthink:

That is wicked cool. Wish I had 1. Where is the backfill blade

I know this is an old post but I couldn't resist I picked this up today about 20 minutes from my house in Kilgore Texas....

That's a great buy and the unfortunate paint job is easily fixed :-)

Good work!

So cool l, never seen one before

That's slick, upside down pictures and all :D
