The Vermeer HG6000TX is powered by a 755-horsepower (563 kW) Caterpillar C18 Tier 4 final engine. The HG6000TX is equipped with 26-inch (66 cm) double grouser track pads to help reduce ground pressure. The suspension provides 7 inches (17.8 cm) of ground clearance under the track undercarriage, making it ideal for tough-to-reach jobsites and uneven terrain.

With a ground speed of up to 2.6 mph (4.2 km/h), the HG6000TX can move faster from jobsite to jobsite to help it keep pace with loading equipment.

The SmartFeed feed system automatically controls grinding speed based on engine RPM levels, and the hydraulic feed roller keeps material moving to maximize loading speed and productivity. With reversible hammers and tips, the patented Series II duplex drum system simplifies maintenance and nearly doubles the wear life compared to single-sided designs.

The HG6000TX features a thrown object deflector, which reduces the quantity and distance of thrown debris to help enhance jobsite safety. A single-piece discharge conveyor belt allows for better flow of material from belly to load-out to prevent bottlenecks.

To transport the machine, the operator can track a grinder onto the new dolly system using a wireless remote control unit from up to 300 feet (91.4 m). Remote operation allows the operator to engage tracks for onsite maneuverability and view and change a variety of settings during operation, while monitoring various engine parameters from inside the loader cab or in a remote location. The new dolly transport system eliminates the need for a conventional truck trailer — such as a drop deck — greatly reducing operating costs and enhancing maneuverability.
