2025 Vermeer® Whole Tree Chippers WC2500XL
WC2500XL highlights- Expand your revenue stream with more flexibility
- Designed with the operator in mind
- Focus more on productivity and less on maintenance
Features may include:
Efficient material handling- SmartCrush technology allows you to increase down pressure when difficult material enters the cutting drum.
- With the variable-speed dual-infeed conveyor chains, operators can concentrate on loading the machine, not pushing the material through.
- A compact design to maneuver more easily in the woods, on tight jobsites and down narrow paths, but packs 600 hp (447 kW) of power to meet your production demands.
- Self-adjusting hydraulic dry clutch provides consistent engagement, helping to prolong clutch life, minimize maintenance cost and optimize operator efficiency.
- Easy knife change-out system to help reduce maintenance on the jobsite.
- High-wear material flow areas of the machine — like the drum, discharge chute, cutter housing and infeed conveyor floor — are designed with replaceable bolt-in wear parts to help extend machine life.
- VermeerOne™ Platform isn’t just a tool or platform. It’s an experience — one designed to simplify equipment management, empower users with real-time data to make smarter decisions, and help maximize productivity and profitability.
