Vermeer - Model BC1000XL -Brush Chipper
Vermeer continues its dedication to delivering highly innovative, fuel-efficient equipment with the BC1000XL brush chipper. Complete with an 89-horsepower (66.4 kW) GM 3.0L gas engine, the chipper is powered by a dependable electronic fuel injection (EFI) system. The BC1000XL also features a direct electronic pressure regulator that allows for greater control of fuel delivery, fuel economy and optimum combustion. This chipper comes standard with the Vermeer patented EcoIdle™ system and patented SmartFeed technology and has a 12-inch (30.5 cm) cutting capacity.
- An electronic fuel injection (EFI) engine performs well during cold-weather starts and provides improved fuel economy over comparable carbureted gas engines.
- Increase operator productivity while reducing strain on vital engine parts with the help of the patented SmartFeed system. This feed-sensing control system monitors engine rpm and automatically stops and reverses the feed roller when feeding larger, hardwood material.
- 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.
- See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
The Vermeer BC1000XL provides performance and safety on your jobsite.
Equipped with either a CAT 49 hp (36.5 kW) Tier 4a or Cummins 85 hp (63.4 kW) Tier 3 engine, the BC1000XL delivers efficiency to chip through tough material, while the 25-gal (94.6 L) fuel tank cuts time spent refueling and increases time spent on the job.
The heavy-duty, all-steel engine enclosure is designed to hold up to daily use and wear. The unit’s large feed opening enables you to process material up to 12" (30.5 cm) in diameter, which helps boost productivity by reducing the need to trim material — making the BC1000XL an ideal machine for line-clearing contractors, rental yards and municipalities.
The rubber-torsion suspension provides smooth towing action while the control panel and operational controls are located at the rear of the machine for easy access and monitoring during machine operation.
When you need a quality, reliable brush chipper, look to a name you can trust — Vermeer.
Engine options to fit your needs. With two engine options providing either 49 hp (36.5 kW) or 85 hp (63.4 kW), contractors have the ability to choose an appropriate horsepower based on their needs.
Operator safety. Combined with the patented Bottom Feed Stop Bar is the four-position upper feed control bar with dual stop positions and forward / reverse feed positions. Mounted over the feed table, it enables the operator to stop the feed rollers and select forward or reverse operations. Dual reset / hold-to-run buttons allow the operator to readily reset the Bottom Feed Stop Bar.
A clutchless PTO system allows the cutter to be engaged without using a traditional slip clutch or idler pulley and without sliding the engine. The system is simple to maintain — once under the shield, belt changes are easily accomplished without the use of tools.
The patented SmartFeed system helps increase operator productivity while reducing strain on vital engine parts. The feed-sensing control system monitors engine rpm and automatically stops or reverses the rollers when feeding larger, hardwood material.
A large rectangular 12" x 17" (30.5 cm x 43.2 cm) feed opening helps boost productivity by reducing the need to trim material before feeding it into the chipper.
