Bandit chipper mods to get chip in to truck, not all over the street?

[GlobalNewark]

We hire a Bandit chipper, i think its a 85x??? its about 1.5 tons, yellow, takes 8" logs??? in truth 5-6" and hates conifer greenery.

 

 

 

Whenever we hire it we are in a desperate battle to keep the chip in the truck and not all over the truck/street/house/neighbors house and garden.

 

 

 

Has anyone got an idea on how to mod the chute without damaging or drilling etc? as we have to take it back in the same condition.

 

 

I assume this is a 65xl/xp which is a 6" chipper, we don't offer an 8" model. We also offer a 22" long flipper instead of a 12", on a 7" machine there are Two different length discharges.

 

Regarding conifer:

Are the blades sharp

Is the anvil adjusted correctly

Are the feed wheel slats sharp

Is the spring tension on the rollers sufficient(assuming it's twin rollers) or is it a typical hire machine?

The feed wheels are sharp, the brashy greenery just clings to them and fills the area between them and the blades, or drops out of the bottom hatch which is welded open to prevent stone damage:001_rolleyes:

 

Blades....... see for yourself.

That's a 75xp which should devour conifer, there must be something seriously wrong. You should speak to Vianney or Alain at ALM.

Them blades are mullered for a start, easy to blame the machine when basic maintenance isnt done correctly/at all.

If I could, I would! There a few hire shops here and even fewer have arb clients, most people burn

 

If you hire even just once a week, over a year you've more than covered the cost of finance on your own chipper then you totally avoid the problems associated with dire rental machines.

Those knives are done, probably the anvil is miles out as well.

 

Also the flipper looks different the 75 I have. It is quite aggressive so does spray well. But not as bad as you are describing.

Blunt blades, poor chip cage design equals your problem.

Sorry mate😃

Think your machine has the 22" flipper Jonny.
