I have seen one on a side by side demo with a Carlton 4012 with sandvik wheel.

The Carlton wins hands down at I recon a 2/1 performance. Noise and ease of use.

The sandvik will cut a lot smoother with less power draw when down in the ground it appears.

I also spoke to a 4012 user the other day and she said that they are getting over 150hrs plus on the Sandvik teeth.

But overall the Carlton seamed to have a better hydraulic system that was very quick on response.

The Bandit just appeared to me to be a bad copy:thumbdown: of the Carlton, I'd say about 3 years behind in build and workability. However that is my personnal opinion.
