Only used it on a smaller job yesterday but the big feedwheel is hungry. Chipped a couple smaller trees whole without having to cut any crotches. Would have been much more cutting up to feed the old bandit 200. I really want to stuff it with the trackhoe and see how it does.

Model 13 tornado 16" capacity
1260hrs Perkins 130hp all mechanical engine.
Everything works well on it, a few little maintenance things to fix.

Obviously bigger is better but I'd like to stick to towing with my...
