Get FinancingVermeer BC200 Brush Chipper Features Gas Engine, Meets Stage V Emission Regulations
Developed by Vermeer team members in Goes, Netherlands, the BC200 Brush Chipper is the first Vermeer chipper model developed in Europe with a gasoline engine. The four-cylinder Kubota WG1605 engine provides 57 horsepower (42.5 kilowatts), while meeting Stage V emission standards without the need for exhaust aftertreatment systems. Vermeer notes that although European customers typically prefer diesel, new emission regulations and the expense of Stage V diesel means that market could move in a new direction.
BC200 Features
The durable BC200 features a heavy-duty axle, surge brake, nosewheel, and jack to provide customers with a towable wood chipper that can handle rough working conditions. For better fuel efficiency, Vermeer equips the BC200 with an EcoIdle engine control system that reduces fuel consumption if the feeding process has frequent interruptions. The efficient and easily transportable BC200 should be a good fit for arborists, landscape contractors, and rental stores who need to get rid of their wood waste material.
Support For Wide & Dense Materials
The BC200 offers a wide, letterbox-style 7.9- x 11.8-inch (20- x 30-centimeter) opening for efficient feeding of materials with side branches, so operators won’t have to pre-cut materials down to size. The brush chipper is built with large-diameter feed rollers with 860 pounds (390 kilograms) of clamping force to pull in dense branches. An offset lower roller helps to feed shorter branches and improve grip on awkwardly shaped materials. Infeed auto reverse and refeed features are available to better chip difficult branches, further helping to reduce the need to saw materials down before feeding.
