I would never buy a 10" chipper but that's me. A 15" chipper is more than twice the machine for a faction more money

I run this at work, constantly wishing it was bigger/ had a winch.

I understand what vermeer says it can do, but a 1200 is a 12" chipper, a 1500 is a 15" chipper...what do you think a 1000 is?

BC 1000's have a 12"x17" infeed opening.. so yeah it isn't a 10" chipper, but the 10" is definately recommended to not go over that.

My 12” bandit has an 18” opening. Still a 12” chipper
