When there’s tough brush-clearing work to do, you can count on the Vermeer BC1200XL to handle it. The electronic fuel injection engine provides improved fuel economy with 135 horsepower (101 kW). The PSI engine allows for more efficient working conditions and boosts engine response under load.
See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
- Get more done thanks to the aggressive feeding action of dual horizontal offset feed rollers.
- Protect your engine with the SmartFeed system, which monitors engine speed and stops or reverses the feed rollers if needed.
- Take on the heavy work with an optional winch for effortless handling of large logs.
- Prevent premature wear to the belt-drive system using the clutchless PTO system, which prevents high-speed engagement of the cutter drum.
- With the optional Tree Commander™ remote control, jobsite productivity is improved by allowing the operator to control brush chipper functions remotely. The remote can be attached to the operator’s belt or held in an optional bracket mounted directly to the operator’s station of a Vermeer mini skid steer.
