Features

Able to chip heavily branched material up to 9” in diameter and 14” (35.5 cm) wide, the BC900XL is ideal for line clearing and general clean-up needs.

Key Features

  • Provides operator safety with the patented bottom feed stop bar. The four-position upper feed control bar with dual stop positions and forward/reverse feed positions mounts over the feed table, enabling the operator to stop the feed rollers and select forward or reverse operations.
  • A clutchless PTO system allows the cutter to be engaged without using a traditional slip clutch or idler pulley and without sliding the engine.
  • This machine offers direct access to all parts of the chipper for routine maintenance without climbing on or removing any shields. A dripless oil filter and five grease points are provided to reduce work effort and speed up service time.
  • Protect your engine with the SmartFeed system, which monitors engine speed and stops or reverses the feed rollers if needed.
