• Get more done thanks do the aggressive feeding action of dual horizontal offset feed rollers.
• Protect your engine with the SmartFeed system, which monitors engine speed and stops or reverses the feed rollers if needed.
• Take on the heavy work with an optional winch for effortless handling of large logs.

When there’s tough brush-clearing work to do, you can count on the Vermeer BC1200XL to handle it. Available with either a 85-hp (63.4 kW) or 110-hp (82 kW) Cummins Tier 3 diesel engine, the BC1200XL is rugged, powerful, and offers innovative features designed for safety and performance.

Not only does the BC1200XL tear through material up to 12" (30.5 cm) in diameter, its patented productivity enhancements help make the job easier for you. Our exclusive SmartFeed system automatically monitors engine speed and stops or reverses the feed rollers if needed, reducing strain on the engine. The dual-pump hydraulic system helps deliver an impressive 3600 lb (1632.9 kg) of theoretical pull-in force for the heavy work. The operator controls are conveniently located close to the infeed area, helping you monitor the machine while it works.

The BC1200XL includes a number of exclusive safety features. The strategically located bottom feed stop bar makes it possible for an operator’s leg to either intentionally or automatically strike the bar and shut off the feed mechanism in an emergency. The optional winch features a new patent-pending winch line interlock, which requires the end of the winch line to be attached to an interlock hook in order for the feed rollers to be operable.

In the world of quality, dependable tree-care equipment, Vermeer stands tall.

Dual horizontal offset feed rollers improve performance by aggressively grabbing and feeding material to the drum. The offset helps the upper feed roller climb over big logs or material with lots of branches or forks.

Easily lifts heavy material. An optional winch allows operators to move large logs effortlessly. The 150` (45.7 m) winch line can handle logs up to 2000 lb (907.2 kg) and can be used to lift the log onto the feed table.

Engine options to fit your needs. With two Cummins diesel engine options providing 85 hp (63.4 kW) or 110 hp (82 kW), contractors have the ability to choose an appropriate horsepower option based on their jobsite. A steel engine enclosure helps provide additional durability.

A clutchless PTO system reduces premature wear to the belt-drive system by preventing high-speed engagement of the cutter drum. The throttle is integrated with the belt drive to help ensure the PTO can be engaged only while the engine is at low speed.
