Choosing the right chipper will improve safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness making your project run smoothly from start to finish. Here’s all you need to know about Vermeer’s top chipper options.
This agile chipper is designed for immediate and versatile cleanup jobs. It’s a no-fuss solution that prioritises manoeuvrability and efficiency. With a 35hp/26.1 kW gas engine, fuel consumption is kept at optimum levels, making it one of the cheapest and efficient chippers to run. The feed stop bar increases safety while the feed system is equipped with a disk style chipper capable of chewing through 9-inch (23cm) diameter wood. Perks include dual-edge cutting knives which double the knife life making this chipper worthwhile over the long term.Â
Where intelligence meets productivity: the BC1000XL delivers an effective package of fuel saving technology, the latest safety specs, and innovative design. The trusty 2.2 litre 74 hp /55.2 kW engine delivers power to a smart feeder system capable of feeding wood up to 30m per minute. An extra large fuel tank with 94.6 L capacity provides maximum time on the job. This can have a huge effect on productivity, with fewer fuel stops this chipper is your go-to for maximum efficiency.Â
For tougher, more sturdy brush chipping jobs, this is your go-to. With a Cummins Turbo Tier 3 diesel engine delivering 110hp/82 kW, this chipper is equipped with horizontal offset feed-rollers increasing feed capacity and efficiency. An optional winch makes light work of the heavy stuff and can save time and effort along the way. With the capacity to chomp through wood 12 inches (30.5cm) in diameter, this chipper is ready for action.Â
For larger council pickup jobs, storm and natural disaster cleanups, the BC1500 has the grunt, the fuel tank, and the teeth for a consistent and efficient job. A 45 gallon (170 L) fuel tank keeps this chipper running for anywhere up to 17 hours before refuelling. With dual access fuel tanks and a well thought-through design allowing for easy access for maintenance and blade replacements, this chipper is both easy to run and good at its job. An optional winch can lift logs up to 2000 lb (907.2kg) in weight, adds to the usability, while a smart feed system monitoring engine rpm and potential jams increase its productivity, making it one of the most efficient and easy to use chippers on the market.
With 3 diesel engine options, this wood chipper is the epitome of versatility. Depending on the job, choose between 110 hp/82 kW and 170 hp/126.8 kW engine range. The BC1800 is fast, powerful and can chew through wood anywhere up to 19-inches (48.3 cm) in diameter. The feed table is 62.5-inch (158.8 cm) long, increasing safety and usability. With a standard tree commander remote control, the chipper functions can be controlled by the operator no matter where he/she is on the job-site. The BC1800 boasts an intelligent EcoIdle engine control system that slows down rpm when the machine is idle. Not only does this save fuel, but it also makes for a quieter job-site and is far more eco-friendly.Â
At the top of its class, the BC2100 is the most powerful with a full range of chipping capabilities for any clearing job. With a 275 hp/205.1 kW Tier 3 diesel engine, cutting wood anywhere up to 22-inches (53.3cm) in diameter is as easy as it gets. A smart crush feed system applies downward pressure on wood as it’s being fed through creating a more seamless in-feed system. An optional winch makes loading large logs effortless and can lift material up to 4000 lb (1814.9kg). For large scale jobs, the BC2100 is an ideal choice.Â
