2025 Vermeer® Brush Chippers BC1500

Powered by either a Tier 4 Final Cummins® diesel engine or an Origin® gas engine, the BC1500 handles tough of materials with ease.

The BC1500 introduces vertical feed roller technology to help aid in machine loading and the feeding of adverse materials.

The EcoIdle™ engine control system reduces engine speed to a preset lower rpm after one to five minutes of inactivity, saving fuel and reducing jobsite noise.

SmartFeed, a patented feed-sensing control system, boosts operator productivity and reduces engine strain by monitoring engine rpm and controlling feed rollers.

The patented bottom feed stop bar is strategically positioned so the operator can strike it to shut off the feed mechanism.

VermeerOne™ Platform isn’t just a tool or platform. It’s an experience — one designed to simplify equipment management, empower users with real time data to make smarter decisions, and help maximize productivity and profitability.

Features may include:

  • Versatility where it matters most
  • Designed for intelligent feeding
  • Built to withstand the toughest jobs
