Bandit wood chipper

[Jon@CareFell]

They are fine if the blades are sharp and the anvil is properly adjusted. If the blades are a bit dull, you can get away forcing it through with the crush for a bit longer but ultimately you need to keep the knives sharp. Which is what should be happening anyway it’s worth keeping a spare set with the machine. I have a 150ld and am very happy with it. The productivity to £ ratio is excellent!

We have a 75 and a 990 ad both do conifer very well, as been said you have to keep the knives sharp or performance soon drops off.

In a way , Bandits are a bit wasted on conifer - they chomp thru anything that will go in, But great standalone chipper . Last a lifetime. K

Same with any chipper, sharp blades are essential.  Blade to anvil gap is crucial and a reasonable edge on  the anvil matters too. You wouldn't use a blunt chainsaw, slipping clutch or knackered bar would you! Why skimp on chipper maintenence? Add to that, you are towing a fully loaded trailer with a chipper, dont skimp maintenence there too!

Exactly what’s been said above, disc chippers be on top of the knives, four turns on the anvil then you can reshaped. Drum chippers are more forgiving.
