Bandit 990xp.

How fast does it fill the van?

 

 

Looking at that beast, I'd say it depends how fast you can feed it!

Have you thought about getting the winch fitted

We did and haven't regretted it:thumbup:

Then a nice set of tracks.

I assume you live in a very flat part of the country where there aren't any hills, or small slopes.

Lol!

Lol I did think that, really wants to be behind a 6.2t at least.

Chipper weights 2.7t,

And we'll I can fill my truck in 20mins if I'm loading the chipper with a machine 😉. by hand well it's how ever fast you can lift and keep up the pace that it takes 😂.

 

I know a lot of people will think ... Over Wright ..... But nope as the truck has a 3,5t tow limit so I'm well clear of that and the lorry it's self is only 3.5t ... So if you overload the lorry it wouldn't matter if you had a gravity fed chipper on the back .. Because your still be overloaded 😂.

 

Does it fill the can quicker ... Yeah it does.. Because it's eating through a hell of a lot more brash your putting in the hopper ... The best bit is its speeds up getting rid of the waste as now if we have say 30cumbic meters of brash to chip... And it would be 2 loads worth of chip in the truck .. We can feed this machine faster so it means we can fill the van and tip off and come back in half the time trying to fill the van with a 6" machine 😃👍🏻.

 

Roseyweb, get a demo on a bandit and the quality will sell its self to you 😃👍🏻, it's built like a tank 😃 With all seam welds etc.

Also yeah I'm going to get the winch kit fitted at some point. Just buying a few attachments for the skidsteer these next few months so after that the winch kit will be a must have.

 

Nope haha I live in Sussex on the South Downs .. Pretty hilly area, but the truck is 165bhp... It will out pull my new ranger with a 3.5t limit 0-60mph And pull up most hills third gear 30-40mph when loaded. Dual carriage ways it doesn't drop bellow 5th gear. Like fully loaded it will pull up 0-80mph nicely ( not saying I do as I obviously stick to 60) but I'm just saying you can . The lorry has been remapped thought so the touque curve is quite high, that said it doesn't really use much fuel . Well not compared to the ranger

I for one am impressed, lets see how the vans clutch holds up over a longer test but its easy to make a case for increased clutch wear when the up side is a machine of that capacity.

 

Keep on top of the brake adjustment, its easy to forget and you definitely wouldn't want that tail wagging the dog and the relative sizes might just get you a bit more interest from DVSA.

Why does everyone go on about a heavy chipper killing the truck and brakes etc. Yet when big 3.5t tipping trailers are discussed it's never brought up, even though they are heavier?
