BC1500
A Chip off the Old Block! When it comes to the tree care industry, there is a line of brush chippers that have earned a reputation for jobsite productivity and operator safety features: Vermeer. The Vermeer BC1500 is yet another innovative machine designed for natural disaster cleanup or other applications in which contractors and municipalities require a 15" (38 cm) chipping capacity.
The Vermeer BC1500 brush chipper comes equipped with a 125 hp (93 kW) John Deere Tier 3 diesel engine, a 45 gal (170 L) fuel tank and the patent-pending bottom-feed stop bar system for increased operator safety.
