    Default Cool Chipper Feature

    Has anyone ever used, or seen this before? A friend of mine was telling me how a guy had this on his Bandit, but I couldn't decyfer it.

    Found this on E-bay. It's a Bandit model 90. Look on the chipper tongue, see the log splitter? I guess this would make sense for a smaller chipper, so you can split and feed into the chipper. Kinda neat idea. Looks funny as hell though!

    It's at the wrong end to feed.

    Clearly you bust up big nuggets so you can toss them deep into the back of the truck.

    Or that. Although there is no place in the rear to put it.

    But otherwise, cool little unit.

    Great to sell firewood back to the client. I could see that paying for itself if you knew how to sell it right.

    Doesn't take up much room either. I've never wished that 9" chipper I used to use was any shorter.

    That longer tongue would make them easier to back, for sure. That's a good idea and it doesn't take up anymore space. The back of the truck would be right there to toss the wood in.

    Two thumbs up.

    I modified an old chipper of mine and put a hydraulic motor on the back in the corner of the infeed which you could put either a "stickler" wood splitter on or a capstan winch. We used the heck out of the winch but never did seem to split wood.........

    I sure would like to see a pick of the wench/capstain on the chipper. We use the wench of a Hurrican and it kindly sucks. Nice firewood splitter never thought of it
