My family and I are oriented ourselves to sell the business and move up to the rest of our family in Idaho. Our business in Tulsa has been a major blessing and has gone better and easier than I ever dreamed, but it’s probably worth us putting in 30 years into an area we plan to live long-term. That being said…
I have a meticulously maintained Bandit 15XP chipper with the Ford 6.2. It has a little over 200 hours on it, and I’m a little overboard on maintenance, so it’s had it oil changed every 100 hours instead of the every 400 recommended by the manual.
200’ish hours. I had it custom spec’d with the more heavy duty Over-Center clutch, 40 gallon fuel tank, steel fenders, winch (currently removed for easier machine feeding), HD feed table with deflectors, and a hoop style cone holder that can also mount a vice for sharpening. Under 9000 lbs.
Also, for those who are unsure about gassers, this thing walks all over the 130 hp Cummins and the 145 hp John Deere. The torque is the equivalent to the 130 HP John Deere at 355 ft-lbs, but the recovery of drum speed is faster than both of the diesels.
It also burns less fuel per hour at 100% load compared to those two chippers. I get about 8-12 hours of run time per 40 gallon tank. (The 6.2 actually uses 1/2 as much as the GM/PSI 5.7 at 5.4 vs 11.7 GPH).
It’s been a phenomenal machine for us.
Asking 66k (Pay off), there’s also the option of taking over the loan. I’m willing to consider delivery as well depending on location. I do enjoy long drives!
