Description
Got a major brush pile to get rid of? Logs or branches to shred? No problem. The BC1200XL's design offers the performance operators need to get the job done. This chipper shredder rental is perfectly suited for arborists, tree care crews, and homeowners alike.
Looking to get the job done fast? The large infeed opening makes feeding material easier and decreases the number of saw cuts needed before feeding the chipper. The chipper's 25-gal (94.6 L) fuel tank lets you put in more hours before refueling. Its 135 horsepower engine chips thick branches and logs with ease. It also provides improved fuel economy over comparable carbureted gas engines. Safety features? We've got that covered. A bottom feed stop bar makes it possible for the operator's leg to strike the bar and shut off the machine in an emergency situation. The wide axel provides stability and safety for the operator. In addition, it provides maximum visibility when backing up the machine. When transporting the machine, the rubber-torsion suspension allows for smooth towing.
This machine is perfect for all residential tree trimming projects. Have trees to cut down? Branches to prune? Sticks and logs to turn into mulch? Reserve the BC1200XL today and get it done with ease!

About This Rental
What Contractors Are Saying
Real feedback from operators who've used this equipment
"I had a great experience with Wards Equipment Rental. The rental process was quick and easy, and both pickup and drop-off were smooth and hassle-free. The staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful. Everything went exactly as it should. Highly recommend Wards Equipment Rental for quality equipment and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be renting from them again!"
"I have rented a couple times from Ward's including a rental that required delivery/pickup. Each time they were professional, punctual, and practical. They showed me the specifics of the equipment and are the best I have found in regards to fuel cost policies. The rental costs are very competitive and they are now my first place to check for rental equipment."
"I would highly recommend you call Ward's Equipment Rental first for all of your rental needs. Staff is fantastic and their equipment is light years better than the other rental places in the area. Prices are better in most instances as well. Front desk staff works very hard to get you what you need, when you need it and for how long you need it. Give them a call. Wood chippers get busy, so call ahead."
