The BC230 is built tough to support your daily operations and surpass expectations.
The BC230 brush chipper combines a 55-kW (74-hp) Stage V Caterpillar diesel engine with a 23-cm x 35.5-cm (9-in x 14-in) infeed opening to provide superior feeding performance for dealing with heavily branched material. The twin horizontal feed rollers with offset 40-cm (15.7-in) diameter upper roller allows large short lengths to be fed without kickup that reduces the workload and effort for the operator.
