Small chipper advice

Not too bad for $5K.

A Skwerl bought a Bandit and made out like a bandit!

Those bearings are expensive, but they don't seem very hard to change out.

Great looking chipper. Keep sharp teeth in it and it should suck down the brush as fast as you can feed it in. I love Bandits.

"Not a bad deal"........that is an outstanding deal for a money making machine!

Bearings are cheaper at your local bearing shop than through Bandit.

I had the engine on my Chipstar serviced by our local diesel mechanic...I swear it has a smile now.
I don't think the oil and hydraulic filters had been changed for a while before I bought it...they had changed the oil, but as you all know that's not enough!

Just found another Brush Bandit 95 for sale. Disc is set at a 90 degree angle to the rollers instead of a 45 degree angle like mine. Perkins diesel and he's only asking $10,500. I'm seriously considering upgrading.

Nice!

Newer 90 degree arrangements are used for palms and trees, I believe.

Works better for stringy stuff, I believe.

Go for it Brian.
