Chippers and grinders

Bandit Model 990XP

The pitch: The Bandit Model 990XP is a compact, 12” diameter capacity drum-style hand fed chipper specifically designed those looking for a compact chipper to process brush, limbs and small trees.

  • The Model 990XP features a 24" diameter by 18.75" wide drum, equipped with four staggered knife pockets and dual edge reversible knives. Four knives allow for more cuts per revolution and a smoother chipping action with longer knife life. A 3.5" diameter chipper shaft with 2-15/16" pillow-block mounted roller bearings provide durability and longevity against the stresses of chipping applications.
  • The Model 990XP rides on a Torflex 7,000-pound axle with (2) 245/75R 16" tires and weighs in at approximately 5,200 lbs.

Bobcat Stump Grinder Attachment

The pitch: The Bobcat stump grinder attachment mounts directly to the front of a carrier for easy maneuvering in tight areas and positioning exactly where grinding action is needed.

  • Mounted at a 90-degree angle to the operator, the stump grinder offers increased visibility to the cutting area, giving the operator the same wide view as with any pull-behind grinder.
  • Pivoting from side-to-side, the stump grinder sweeps its blade consistently across the desired area, grinding down any unwanted stump.
  • Additionally, the SG60 and SGX60 have the ability to also extend the cutting head and grind up to a 45' stump without repositioning the machine.

The pitch: The CH4400 4-inch chipper provides a double banded belt drive for an equal transfer of power from engine to chipping blade.

  • Has a 404cc Overhead Cam Subaru Engine, designed with a cast iron cylinder liner to increase the integrity of the engine.
  • Equipped with two reversible, heat treated ½” threaded chipping blades.
  • Also incorporated is a cantilever disc mount decreasing the amount of material “wrapping” inherent with wood chippers and saving downtime.
