Big kit (for me any way)

The comment about overheating was an interesting one. Under ordinary circumstances a machine does not (or should not) overheat. If it shuts down due to heat then something is wrong and damage may be already be present. If it does shut down then, please, do get the blower on it as, with the engine stopped, the water pump is not turning and therefore the engine actually gets hotter for a while - potentially doing more damage. But find out why the overheat took place and fix it.

 

Good luck with your choice, I hope it does well for you.

Any one out there have a vermeer bc150 I need to replace the none original battery and need the spec of the correct item any help ???

Just check the Ah rating, the type/size of the terminals, their orientation (ie both at one end, positive left, or positive right) and the overall dimensions of the battery. Then go out and buy one. Simples.

IMO vermeer make pretty much the best chippers out there. Good choice.

Parts from vermeer (most of which are easily sourceable elswhere) are extortionate however- i never buy bearings etc from them, for example.

:thumbup1:Love my one had it for 5yrs and always starts on the button only thing you may need to get is a big boy torque wrench for changing blades think it was 240nm.

They are heavy but built well

Great wee Chippers! Like alot of guys my first Chipper was a BC150.Just take it easy going off Kerbs,they are pretty tippy without Axel Spacers and are heavier than they look.You'll need the help of a few bystanders to right one,once they have stopped laughing.

The machine is great there are a couple of little jobs brakes need a tweek I am replacing the tail lights with leds and painting the covers to clean it up a little.

Personally I think that it has the best infeed that I have ever used there seems to be very little that stops it the only problem Ive had is blocking up cos I get the start up procedure wrong.
