Vermeer chipper.

[Benarb]

Potentially looking at a Vermeer BC200 xl this week and wondered if anyone had any experience with them or vermeer chippers in general? build quality, reliability etc

 

Cant find a great deal online, 8" capacity, 1.4t and that's about it. They have bring out a newer model in the BC200 that looks good.

 

Any info appreciated!

Historically bomb proof design. Like Bandits. Check the usual, oil change, rotor bearings and any electrikery they now fit. K

The 200 is different to everything else. It is designed and built in Europe to be accepted by Euro tree people.
