| Feature | Benefit |
| 25-hp (18.6-kW) engine | |
| Kohler ECH740 engine with gross horsepower of 25 hp (18.6 kW). | Performs well during cold weather, minimizes occurrence of engine flooding and provides improved fuel economy over comparable carbureted gas engines. |
| Large infeed opening | |
| The BC700S by VTM features a 6-in tall x 8-in wide (15.2 cm x 20.3 cm) infeed opening. | Makes feeding of irregular material efficient and minimizes the amount of saw cuts needed prior to feeding the chipper. |
| Wide axle | |
| A wide axle is standard for optimal stability. | Offers side-to-side stability and optimizes transportability. |
| SmartFeed control system | |
| An exclusive feed-sensing control system that monitors motor current and automatically stops or reverses the feed roller. | Maximizes operator productivity and minimizes strain on vital motor parts. |
| Electronically switch bottom stop feed bar | |
| The bottom stop feed bar is strategically located to make it possible for an operator to strike the bar and shut off the feed mechanism. | Increases operator safety while feeding material. |
| Centrifugal clutch | |
| Clutch that uses centrifugal force to engage itself. The inner shaft spins with the engine and as rpms are increased, it causes weighted arms to swing outward to engage the outer shaft that runs a belt and engages the disc on the chipper. | Help prevent belt slip when engaging the clutch, minimizing maintenance. |
