CHIPPING PRODUCTIVITY.
The SmartFeed system monitors engine rpm and
automatically stops and reverses the feed rollers
to enhance production. This system also senses feed
roller jams and manipulates the material
automatically to reduce the need for manual
control bar use.
EASILY LIFT HEAVY MATERIAL. An optional winch allows operators to move large
logs effortlessly. The 150' (45.7 m) winch line can
handle logs up to 2000 lb (907.2 kg) and can
automatically lift the logs onto the feed table.
OPERATOR SAFETY. Mounted over the feed table, the four-position upper
feed control bar enables the operator to stop the feed
rollers and select forward/reverse. The patented
bottom feed stop bar is strategically located to make it
possible for an operator’s leg to strike the bar and shut
off the feed mechanism either intentionally or
automatically in an emergency situation.
TAKE CONTROL. With the optional Tree Commander™ remote control,
jobsite productivity can be improved by allowing the
operator to control brush chipper functions remotely.
The remote can be attached to the operator’s belt or
held in an optional bracket mounted directly to the
operator’s station of a Vermeer compact utility loader.
ENGINE OPTIONS. The BC1500 is offered in either a 165 hp (123 kW)
PSI 5.6L gasoline engine and 130 hp (97 kW) Cummins
QSF 3.8L Tier 4 Final engine.
SMOOTH FEEDING. Vertical feed rollers with helical cleats help hold
material firmly to the infeed table, which reduces
vibration, shock and structural loading to the rear
of the machine.
