Ive got a 90 and love it

Generally very good, we have two at work and I've used a few different models.

They are well made, easy to work on but usually quite heavy.

Us to operate a bandit, one of the best machines I've used. Had a bandit beast on one of my sites before too. If I was to go buy a chipper weather it be a 9inch tow behind, or a whole tree chipper it would be bandit every time. Simple and effective. Get one with the ram on top of the feed roller to push the roller down, it's a god send!

[Arborist]

Heavy's a understatement! I made the mistake of taking the spout off once and it was a pain in the arse getting it back on.

Had the 250 for a few months, awesome machine.

Well built, bit heavy but with that sort of build quality its to be expected, if your going through Global for the machine ior any spares Dean is a top bloke, really helpful and has an engineers perception on how things work, couldn't rate them highly enough . For me I like the tracked version , but now only into grinders. Ring Dean with any questions, sure he will be on later .

Dean to the rescue, of course I'm biased but that's why I work where I do. It's all been said before but you will never wear one out, there are few used machines ever for sale & they hold there value well.

 

If you would like a play with one give me a shout, you won't be disappointed.

Hi Simonm

I have a 150xp, although an older one it just keeps on going. I use it for everything from domestic to site work. Its big, heavy, but easy with a long drawbar to back and deal with. Can spin it by hand on solid surface.

 

The winch on a bandit is brilliant, not just dragging wood but dragging Bandit when necessary.

 

If you intend to chip into a l/rover or towing vehicle with a small capacity back (4x4) then bring a big brush!....

 

The only down side is the fact that Dean Embling offers his clients so much for their second-hand ones I still cannot afford another.....though not quite certain what a newer one would accomplish.

Ha ha, they are rugged alright, that old blue factory door looked a bit second hand after you reversed the chipper up it
