Centrifugal Clutch
Clutch that uses centrifugal force to engage itself. The inner shaft spins with the engine and a s rpms are increased, it causes weighted arms to swing outward to engage the outer shaft which runs a belt and engages the disc on the chipper. The centrifugal clutch engagement prevents belt slip when engaging the clutch which means fewer maintenance costs.
Dual Edge Cutter Knives
Dual Edge cutter knives helps to increase knife life by having two usable edges rather than one.
Electronic-Fuel-Injected (EFI) Engine
The BC700XL has a 25HP (18.6 kW) EFI Kohler Engine. It performs well during cold weather starts, has reduced occurrence of engine flooding, and provides improved fuel economy over comparable carbureted gas engines.
Electronically Switched Bottom Feed Stop Bar
The bottom feed stop bar is strategically located to make it possible for the operator’s leg to strike the bar and shut off the feed mechanism either intentionally or automatically in an emergency situation. Reset/Hold-to-run buttons on each side fo the infeed housing allow the operator to readily reset the system if the bar is tripped.
Large Infeed Opening
The 6” x 8” (15.2cm x 20.3cm) rectangular opening is capable of taking material up to 6” (15.2cm) in diameter. The large infeed opening makes feeding irregular material easier and decreases the amount of saw cuts needed prior to feeding the chipper.
Smartfeed Control System
SmartFeed is a patented feed-sensing control system which monitors the engine rpm and automatically stops and reverses the feed rollers when feeding large hardwood material. This exclusive system from Vermeer helps increase operator productivity and reduces strain on vital engine parts, as engine rpm is monitored and feed rollers are controlled.
Two Degree Knife Mount
The cutting knives are mounted at a two degree angle on the disc. Having the knife mounted at 2 degrees helps maintain a consistent feed rate into the disc, permitting for better quality chips and less stress on the system.
Wide Axle
A wide axle is standard to increase stability. The offers a wide footprint at the axle for side-to-side stability; additionally enhances transportability and visibility while backing up.
