Chipper upgrade...

Hey Steve,

That's a good looking set up.

How do you find the Bandit?

Think you'll be pushing 8+ with a tt126 if I can get a good 7 in a tt105! Yes can vouch a full trailer makes a good ground anchor but normally when you don't want it too! Like the big lid, bet you need it with the bandits ability to pack the chip forward! Good set up but again a compromised on smaller jobs, do you have a smaller rig or just don't do smaller jobs?

 

Hi Grey git & Ty

for a couple of years the landy & ifor were the only collection kit, the mog had the bandit which is the 150xp which is just great!.... But as of October we joined forces with another tree business and all the kit came together so we now have allsorts of variations.....

 

Ty for really serious chipping the Bandit is just a pleasure to use. Ours is old, but I can tell you by spending 39k on a new one would not chip any better or quicker. Just buy a decent second hand one.

Steve, do you find the winch usefull?

 

Here is a little history I found on wiki for an upcoming job at a certain Normandy chateau...

We use the winch for any & everything, pulling chipper into position, pulling over trees, dragging, absolutely everything. We have two winches running on some tasks. The capacity of the bandits is such we put stuff through that I like you, couldn't shift by hand.

All lines are Plasma, wouldn't & couldn't work with steel in the scenarios we use.

This bandit is the 125hp turbo perkins, I get 8 hours chipping @40 ltrs. That is a shed load of work.

Ha!

This is where I am going!

2 winches, one tractor, one chipper.

'Gesamt Mechanisierung' as they say in Germany...

Now about plasma lines...

Purple plasma, made up to order from 'Ruftracks' in Glasgow. This some of the finest no-nonsense stuff available.

I run 3 winches on mog., front, back, and on boom bucket there is another. On L/rover I run two., front & rear. Then the Bandit has the one.

 

We do a lot of straight line stuff, but also a lot of redirects and this stuff is great. It is susceptible to chaffing (a bit like us all!) but apart from that is way more durable and less damaging far stronger than steel of the same diameter.

 

We do river extraction would normaly chew our way through steel with kinking and damaging everything it touched been a real pain on and off the drum.

This stuff is like soft washing line!
