BC1800XL Gas Brush Chipper Features & Benefits

Powerful and control

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

The BC1800XL is equipped with vertical feed roller technology to help aid in machine loading and the feeding of adverse materials.

Experience powerful yet efficient feeding thanks to the Origin® 6.2L gasoline powered engine. 

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.

Intelligent feeding

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

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.  

Safety

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