The large horizontal feeder has a max speed of 32m\/min and can chip through materials up to 30.5cm, reducing trimming time.

These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patented bottom feed stop bar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4-Position upper feed control bar with dual stop positions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forward\/reverse feed positions mounts over feed table<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also standard is the clutchless PTO system. This allows the operator to engage the cutter without using a traditional slip clutch or idler pulley, and without sliding the engine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To further improve safety and operator efficiency, Vermeer have included their SmartFeed system technology into the BC1000XL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This technology is designed to reduce strain on engine parts while the control system sensors monitor engine RPM and can automatically stop and reverse the feed roller when dealing with larger, hardwood material. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vermeer BC1000XL Specifications<\/span><\/h2>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"width: 441px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Engine<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cummins 3.3L Tier 4<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Horsepower<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">74 (55.2kW)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Chipping Capacity<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30.5cm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Feed Speed<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32m\/min<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Fuel Tank<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">94.6L<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Hydraulic Tank<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26.5L<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Clutch Drive Engagement<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Belt tensioner<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Drum Speed<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2000rpm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Drum Diameter<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50.8cm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Knives<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 244px;\"><b>Knife Thickness<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 197px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.6cm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vermeer BC1000XL Price<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the benefits of the Vermeer BC1000XL is that they have a long lifespan.
