Bandit wood chipper

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.

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!

Approx weights are as follows:-

 

New machines

90xp- 2200kgs

150xp-3000kgs

 

Older machines

90xp- 1950kgs

150ld-2000kgs

These are based on our std spec but remember there are vast options.

So... nothing I can tow with a Renault Kangoo...
