Features

Powered by a 125 hp (93 kW) John Deere tier 3 diesel engine, the BC1500 Wood Chipper powers through material up to 15”(38 cm) in diameter.

Smooth Feeding

Vertical feed rollers with helical clears help hold material firmly to the infeed table which reduces vibration, shock and structural loading to the rear of the machine.

Never Get Stuck

The BC1500 comes with 17.5” wheel assembly as standard. Effortlessly drive over soft terrain like loose dirt with minimal soil disruption.

Easy Access

The hinged thermoformed plastic engine enclosure design helps with easy access to maintenance points and limited noise.

Operator Safety

The four-position upper feed control bar enables the operator to stop the feed rollers and select forward/reverse. The patented bottom feed stop bar is strategically located so an operator’s leg can strike the bar and shut off the feed mechanism.

Chipping Productivity

The SmartFeed system monitors engine rpm and automatically stops and reverses the feed rollers to enhance production. This system also senses feed roller jams.

Easily lift heavy material

An optional winch allows operators to move large logs effortlessly. The 45.7 m winch line can handle logs up to 907.2 kg and can automatically lift the log onto the feed table.
