The heavy-duty Vermeer BC1000XL brush chipper with its all-steel engine enclosure is designed to hold up for the long haul. Enhanced with the modern day operator in mind, the BC1000XL is available with either a Tier 4i (Stage IIIB) 74 hp (55.2 kW) or 49 hp (36.5 kW) engine that meets all the latest emission regulations. When transporting the machine, expect smooth towing thanks to the rubber-torsion suspension.
Keep up the pace because the BC1000XL comes with a 25 gal (94.6 L) fuel tank that lets you put in more hours before refueling.
Minimize maintenance because once the shield is opened, belts can be changed without tools, and the clutchless PTO system eliminates the need to slide the engine.
Provides operator safety with the patented bottom feed stop bar. The four-position upper feed control bar with dual stop positions and forward / reverse feed positions mounts over the feed table and enables the operator to stop the feed rollers and select forward or reverse operations.
Protect your investment with a 3-year/3000-hour extended limited warranty on drum housings, cutter drum, shaft and ring-fetter hubs in addition to the 1-year/1000-hour Vermeer equipment limited warranty.
