The Vermeer BC1500 brush chipper uses a precision-balanced 22.5-in (57.2-cm) drum with two 5-in x 8-in (12.7-cm x 20.3-cm) A8 double-sided knives to chip through material up to 15 in (38.1 cm). Powered by a Tier 4i (Stage IIIB) 130-hp (97-kW) Cummins diesel engine, the BC1500 can handle the toughest of material with ease.

Let us help you get the job done efficiently and effectively!
Features & Benefits
1
The BC1500 introduces vertical feed roller technology to help aid in machine loading and the feeding of adverse materials.
2
An optional winch can be added to aid in transporting large material to the infeed table, helping reduce manual material handling.
3
The optional Tree Commander™ remote control enhances jobsite productivity by enabling remote operation of brush chipper functions and can be conveniently attached to the operator’s belt or mounted on a Vermeer mini skid steer.
4
The EcoIdle™ engine control system reduces engine speed to a preset lower rpm after one to five minutes of inactivity, saving fuel and reducing jobsite noise.
5
SmartFeed, a patented feed-sensing control system, boosts operator productivity and reduces engine strain by monitoring engine rpm and controlling feed rollers.
6
The patented bottom feed stop bar is strategically positioned so the operator can strike it to shut off the feed mechanism.
