  1. You won't go wrong with a 75 bandit, I have got 4 of them on my hire fleet. They all have long flippers on them now, so no problems with chip going everywhere now. Never have any problem with pipes or wires being ripped off. Don't look pretty but they do what it says on the tin. Never had any problems with them, my oldest one has 750 hours on clock.

  2. Done a demo the other day with it and the customer was very impress with it. He has a timber Wolf gravity feed chipper, he said the bandit was much better. Useing It on Monday have a big oak take down in a court yard, so got to take it though the school.

  3. Hi mark had a Vermeer ok machine. Prediter never heard a good report about them. CALTON and bandit old machines almost the same machine. The new 2250 bandit great machine, I put mine out on hire and have no problems. Belt less drive, engine is sat on the back of the machine not on the head great for stabilaty.

  4. When I started my business in 2000 the first machine I got was a 252. Good machine but times have moved on but the 252 hasn't, retired it in 2005 for a bandit 2900t. Now have a bandit 2250 as well. Well built the cutting sweep is excellent, on belts, bearings and one of the good things about it is the engine is sat on the back of the machine not on top. The 252 is easy to rollover, yes ok you can put dual wheels on but then it not 35", eats bearings and where the engine is on the top it's up and down oil to the front then oil to the back the engines don't last that long nomally the back piston goes. had three engines on my machine. With the 252 if the teeth are slightly dull will bounce or drag the machine into the root. The 2250 does not bounce or move, if chipping in front of wheels of the 252 struggles to move not man anough drive pump.

  5. Can beat a bandit, reliable and very well built. Had a 90 then in 2005 upgraded to a new 150 it now has 1900 hours on the clock and all I've ever done is change blades. About 18 mouths ago got a 75 what a machine that is, now have three of them with a tracked one on order. The 150 is hardy used only on big crappy jobs. Have a look at the 75 as well as the 90 you will be impressed.
