I used to run a chipper truck,we had a Vermeer ,and I hated it,the boss gave us a 1590 intimidator ,absolutely loved it ,even bandit 250 was awesome,I think bandit should step up to the plate when comes to teaching operators to maintain bedknifes ,anvils and blades adjustments.other wise great machines.
No offense to anyone... but if you layer the stump it’s so much easier. A lot of people do it that way it and takes forever and leaving stump/roots behind
Cool video. At my last job I worked on the tree crew. We had 2 bandit chippers, a drum and a disc. Didn’t like the drum cause it always got clogged. The disc was pretty good until a log would get wedged against the blade and you would have to cut it out. I work on a farm now and I’m using a vermeer bc1500. Starting it is easier than the bandit, but I don’t like the rubber curtain and I don’t see an option to open up the jaws if you want to throw in a fat log or something.
Why use a disc rather than a drum? My understanding is that, designed correctly, a drum will process material faster than a disc (albeit yielding larger chips).
I went to work for pikes tree service and he has an XP chipper and my back feels great at the end of the day because this chipper eats everything and no more packing big wood to the trucks, great investment for production hands down and great machine
