The WC2300XL features an infeed system that includes variable-speed dual-infeed conveyor chains, conveyor head pulley with integral grip bars, sloped infeed table and aggressive infeed roller with crush capability. These features provide efficient feeding of difficult material types, reducing the number of times an operator has to handle the material. 2: Replaceable wear components. High-wear material flow areas of the machine, such as the drum, discharge chute, cutter housing and infeed conveyor floor are designed with replaceable bolt-in wear parts to extend machine life.2 v e r m e e r . c o mEnhanced in all the right places.Our second generation of the Vermeer whole-tree chipper, the WC2300XL, has the same amount of power as our first generation whole tree chipper, BUT has more bite for when working in more challenging material thanks to its enhanced infeed. By increasing the infeed roller diameter to 28” (71.1 cm) the WC2300XL offers superior productivity whether working in slash or logs up to 23” (58.4 cm) in diameter. Running material through the WC2300XL is easy and efficient, due to its variable-speed dual infeed conveyor chains, conveyor head pulley with integral grip bars and aggressive infeed roller with crush capability. v e r m e e r . c o m 3Need a machine that moves with you? No problem. The WC2300XL has a compact design and built-in skidder grab on the tongue allowing it to be transported by a skidder or excavator. In fact, the grab point is equipped with a unique park/brake release system that allows the skidder operator to move the unit without reattaching a tow vehicle. The WC2300XL is also available with either a Tier 3 or Tier 4i (Stage IIIB) 440 hp (328.1 kW) CAT engine option depending on your region and governmental regulations. Finally, like all Vermeer products, the global Vermeer dealership network comes standard for service and dependability you can count on.3: Dual-knife options. The drum and cutter design provides two different depths of cut, 3/8” (.8 cm) and 5/8” (1.6 cm). This allows one machine to provide different chip sizes to meet end user’s specifications.4: Compact design. The WC2300XL has a compact design, which makes it more maneuverable and easy to position on jobsites. 1 23 45: Chain tensioning system. The WC2300XL infeed conveyor features individually tensioned chains to accommodate unequal chain wear, allowing single-chain replacement. 6: Remote control. The convenient remote control enables a user to operate the WC2300XL from another location, such as the loader cab. The remote control also provides real-time machineperformance data to aid the operator in maximizing productivity by monitoring and adjusting settings. 7: EcoIdleTM Engine Control System. When the EcoIdle function is selected, the engine speed automatically lowers to 1400 rpm after 30 seconds of inactivity to help reduce fuel consumption when not chipping material. 8: SmartCrush. The machine monitors the position of the infeed roller. Down pressure is off until the feed roller has climbed up onto the material, then increases to crush difficult material with forks or large limbs to the cutter drum. With material securely gripped by the infeed system, the operator can release the grapple and concentrate on the next load of material.9: Sloped infeed table. A six-degree sloped infeed table lowers the “break-over” point where long material first contacts the machine. This provides smooth flow of long material from the ground up onto the infeed table and reduces the likelihood of limbs or tree canopy from snagging on the end of the machine.The 3-year / 3,000-hour extended limited warranty on drum housing, cutter drum, shaft and ring feeder hubs offers you peace of mind, in addition to the 1-year/1,000-hour Vermeer equipment limited warranty.56789v e r m e e r . c o m 54 v e r m e e r . c o mW C 2 3 0 0 X L S P E C I F I C A T I O N SCAPACITIESFuel tank: 150 gal (567.8 L)Hydraulic tank: 42 gal (159 L)ELECTRICALSystem voltage: 24 V DCGENERAL DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTSWeight (engine option 1): 32,700 lb (14,832.5 kg)Weight (engine option 2): 34,400 lb (15,603.6 kg)Tongue weight: 6750 lb (3061.7 kg)Maximum length (transport): 29.8’ (9.1 m)Maximum width (transport): 8.2’ (2.5 m)Maximum height (transport): 10.9’ (3.3 m)Tier 3 sound power: 119 dBATier 4i (Stage IIIB) sound power: 118.1 dBA OPTIONSSpecial paint Air compressorExtended warranty Working lightsArctic packageCHASSISFrame: 10” x 4” x .38” (25.4 cm x 10.2 cm x 1 cm)Tires (standard): 385/65R22.5 super singleAxle/Suspension: Dual axle with leaf springsTongue: Fixed with skidder grabSkidder grab: 30” (76.2 cm) wideBrake type: AirOutriggers: Dual rearTrailer lighting: LEDCUTTING SYSTEMDrum support: Pillow block bearingsDrum speed: 1169 rpmDrum width: 34” (86.4 cm)Drum diameter: 36” (91.4 cm)Knives: 8 knives, 8.5” (21.6 cm)Knife types: Double-edged or babbitted single-edgeReplaceable counter knife thickness: 5/16” (.8 cm) or 5/8” (1.6 cm)FEED/DISCHARGE SYSTEMChipping capacity: 23” (58.4 cm)Feed table width: 8.2’ (2.5 m)Feed table length: 10’ (3 m)Feed table slope: 6 degreesFeed conveyor pull-in force: 7443 lb (3376.1 kg)Feed conveyor type: Drag chainFeed roller width: 34” (86.4 cm)Feed roller diameter: 28” (71.1 cm)Feed roller opening height: 27” (68.6 cm)Feed roller speed: 116 fpm (35 m/min)Feed roller pull-in force: 10,626 lb (4820 kg)Down pressure feed roller: 7150 lb (3243.2 kg)Discharge height: 11’ (3.4 m)Up deflector angle: 22°Down deflector angle: 14°Side deflector angle: +/- 14°ENGINE OPTION 2Make/Model: Tier 4i CAT C-13Horsepower: 440 hp (328.1 kW)Max torque: 1483 ft-lb (2010.7 Nm)Fuel type: Ultra low sulfur dieselNumber of cylinders: 6Cooling fan: Reversible and variable pitchedClutch type: PT Tech HPTO dry-clutchENGINE OPTION 1Make/Model: Tier 3 CAT C-13Horsepower: 440 hp (328.1 kW)Max torque: 1483 ft-lb (2010.7 Nm)Fuel type: Low sulfur dieselNumber of cylinders: 6Cooling fan: ReversibleClutch type: PT Tech HPTO dry-clutchv e r m e e r . c o m 76 v e r m e e r . c o m
