Powered by a 125-hp (93-kW) John Deere Tier 3 diesel engine, the BC1500 powers through material up to 15 in (38.1 cm) in diameter.

Automatic throttle and clutch system prevent high-throttle clutch engagement to reduce frequent clutch plate adjustments. Extra-large 45-gal (170.3-L) fuel tank lets you put in more hours before refueling. The optional winch can help load larger logs directly onto the feed table.
