If you want to rent a heavy duty wood chipper there’s a good chance it’ll be a Vermeer BC1000XL unit which is one of the most powerful units rented by companies such as Sunbelt. Here are a few highlights of the BC1000XL wood chipper:
Engines:
- 49 HP 103 lb-ft/torque CAT 2.2L diesel
- 85 HP 224 lb-ft/torque Cummins B3.3 turbo-diesel
25 gallon fuel tank for longer operating times
Tool-less belt change system
At over 4800 pounds this probably isn’t the chipper for you if you have a small yard job however if you’ll be doing some heavy clean up work after a storm, flood or as part of your firewood project a heavy duty unit like this might be called for.
