Ideal world a 12inch + bandit with built in winch

 

 

We have one. 990xp with winch. An absolute beast. We can digger feed it the big stuff, hand feed it small stuff, I love the thing. Expensive to service but the older ones seem to be built to slightly heavier duty spec and are nigh on bullet proof.

Such a difference in weight though surely the 230's have had to sacrifice something to get it down to 750kg....

Some of the manufacturers say you can't make a long lasting chipper under 750kg

I understand the old model was very popular but I haven't seen any of these new ones around

 

Spent alot of time feeding the older A 540 but not the version in your pic . The only fault with the old model is the occasional habit of the top roller getting stuck up . Usually a big ugly lump put through would cure it .
