Chip away your wood waste.

BC1200XL Brush Chipper

We like a challenge. With the ability to handle brush up to 12” (30.5 cm) in diameter, the BC1200XL delivers on tough jobs. Choose between an 85-hp (63.4 kW) or 110-hp (82 kW) Cummins Tier 3 diesel engine. The exclusive SmartFeed system boosts productivity and reduces engine strain while a dual-motor hydraulic infeed delivers 3600-lb (1632.9 kg) of theoretical pull-in force. Add the standard bottom feed stop bar which allows an operator to quickly strike the bar and stop the feed of material either intentionally or automatically in an emergency situation.

Features and Benefits

  • 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.
  • Prevent premature wear to the belt-drive system using the clutchless PTO system, which prevents high-speed engagement of the cutter drum.
  • See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
