To those of you who own or use these machines how are they going now they have been put to work for a few months? any problems? what do you like/dislike about the machine??

[Ian C]

Going v well.

 

Well built, aggressive in feed, simple to service, well though out and good back up direct from the factory.

Oh and as new up grades come out redwood are fitting them all to existing machines, not just new ones of the line......hows that for customer service!

I have had my mind set on bandit for the last year now but after thinking about it can i really justify the extra cash for a machine that doesn't really do anymore?

Are you sure & are you comparing eggs with eggs? Our products have run the test of time & proven to last with little or know problems. Over a few years our machinery usually ends up being the cheapest, most of the deals are replacing alternative brands that end up not being as cheap as first thought.

Beat me to it. I was going to say a machine can't be judged on a demo or after a few weeks of use, the test is over time

Dean you have a Bandit don't you? How do you rate that machine?

[Ian C]

But we have to make a decision on a machine costing 20k+ in an hours demo?

 

So dealers should let us have a machine for a months trial? ??

 

An hour was enough with that messy thing!

I've had mine going on six year Simon, it had one non serviceable part on it which was a £1.50 pin that come out on the injector pump. There is still no signs of wear and im just about to change the "original" anvil.

When you come to chip big wide sheets of ivy and bushy hawthorn, you would count your blessings you chose bandit (-:

Ian you don't have to keep it 20 years mate, the resale value of a bandit that is still in good working order would be much better than a tinny one that's worn out
