Vermeer BC700XL Brush Chipper Offers SmartFeed to Reduce Engine Strain
Posted by Brooke Just
The Vermeer BC700XL brush chipper is designed with a centrifugal clutch system, 25-horsepower (18.6 kW) engine and exclusive SmartFeed feed-sensing control system.
The centrifugal clutch engagement prevents belt slippage when engaging the clutch, which means fewer maintenance costs. The 25 hp (18.6 kW) electronic fuel-injected (EFI) Kohler engine performs well during cold-weather starts, has reduced occurrence of engine flooding and provides improved fuel economy over comparable carbureted gas engines.
The large infeed opening makes feeding irregular material easier and decreases the amount of saw cuts needed prior to feeding the chipper.
The SmartFeed, patented feed-sensing control system from Vermeer helps increase operator productivity and reduces strain on vital engine parts, as engine rpm is monitored and feed rollers are controlled.
A 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.
The wide axle offers a wide footprint at the axle for side-to-side stability and enhances transportability and visibility while backing up.
The machine generates 41.7 foot-pounds (56.5 Nm) of torque and features a horizontal feed roller with a maximum clamp load of 525 pounds (348.1 kg). The BC700XL is built with a wide footprint and chassis frame made from 3/16-inch steel.
