BC1200XL Gas Brush Chipper Features & Benefits

Powerful performance

A powerful 115-hp (85.8-kW) Origin® engine with electronic fuel injection enhances fuel economy and boosts engine response under load.

Get more done thanks to the aggressive feeding action of dual horizontal offset feed rollers that can be adjusted for optimal clamping force when feeding.

Intelligent feeding

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. 

An optional winch can be added to aid in transporting large material to the infeed table, helping reduce manual material handling.

SmartFeed, a patented feed-sensing control system, boosts operator productivity and reduces engine strain by monitoring engine rpm and controlling feed rollers.

Safety

The patented bottom feed stop bar is strategically positioned so the operator can strike it to shut off the feed mechanism.
