The SC552 is a powerful, heavy-duty machine engineered for demanding jobsite conditions, ideal for landscaping, tree removal, and large-scale stump grinding projects.
Engine & Power Performance
Engine: Kohler Diesel Tier 4 Final
Horsepower: 56 hp (41.7 kW)
Fuel Capacity: 14.5 gal (54.9 L)
Cutter Wheel Diameter: 23" (58.4 cm)
Max Cutter Wheel Speed: 1,124 rpm
SmartSweep™ Control System: Monitors engine load and provides continuous feedback to automatically adjust cutter wheel speed, increasing productivity while decreasing machine wear.
Cutting Range & Efficiency
Cutting Height (Above Ground): 31" (78.7 cm)
Cutting Depth (Below Grade): 25" (63.5 cm)
Four-Bar Linkage System: A unique design that keeps the cutter shield parallel to the ground and allows the cutter wheel to move away from the machine as the boom lowers. This maximizes range and improves efficiency by reducing the need to reposition the unit.
Chip Blade: 34" (86.4 cm) front-mounted blade for easy debris management across the jobsite.
Drive & Maneuverability
Drive System: Four-wheel drive with variable speed control for superior traction in challenging terrain.
Standard Dimensions: 147" L x 56" W x 76.5" H (373.4 cm x 142.2 cm x 194.3 cm)
Weight: 4,000 lbs (1,814.4 kg)
Narrow Access Mode: Outside dual wheels are removable, allowing the machine to pass through gates as narrow as 36" (91.4 cm) for backyard or restricted-space projects.
Safety & Operator Interface
Operator Presence System: Features a capacitance-sensing handle design on the boom swing and boom raise/lower controls to enhance operator safety.
Dual Control Stations: * Primary Station: Standard side-operating position.
Auxiliary Station: Located at the front of the machine, allowing the operator to stand in-line with the unit when traveling through narrow areas.
