Were are running 3 of them and no one has had anything bad to say. I think its the best chipper for its size on the market today. There a great machine and can eat a lot of wood.

Figured I'd bump this thread rather than start a new one.

Does anyone know anything about the new 25" wide feed wheel option? I'm assuming the infeed is wider too? And can you get quad rollers on a 1590?

Very little info on the bandit site.

quad rollers is old technology. the bandit intimidators have the most aggressive feed system on the market. i have 2 of the 1890's with the 31 inch feed system and these machines ARE RIDICULOUS. they will eat whole trees for lunch

Great ain't they, nice to chip whole pine trees. You have a winch?

31" feed system? Not familiar with this?

Are those the "brute" chippers? Probably out of my price range, but very cool... I'm thinking I might be stuck in the 1590 140 HP range, have to get some prices.

I have 2 of the 1890s with the 31 inch infeed system. One with 127 hours. It has the 145 cat engine. Priced at 39900
And the second one has 1000 hours and the 200hp cat priced at. 39,900

I have them listed in the classified section if you want to see pics

I'll go check it out. thanks.

I still don't get what the 31" infeed system is referring to specifically?

The machine has 31 inch wide indeed wheels and will take a 31 inch piece of wood

Holy crap!! I just saw a video, it says 32" wide feed wheels (whatever, 31, 32").... didn't know about this, is the drum that wide too? just trying to picture this!

Oh, and I'm trying to stay under CDL if I do something.

The machine with the 145 cat engine will keep you under cdl. The bigger hp will put you over

Yeah, that's part of the reason I'm thinking new, need something real specific. It sounds like the 1890 brute with the 180 HP and maybe the 32" feed wheel deal might be the thing?

You sell new machines too?

I believe that they come with a 22 inch wide drum, the feed wheels are wide but it then funnels down to 22 inches for the drum to chip, morbarks i think are the same way. If i am correct then you will not be chipping 31 inch wood, also considering the feed wheel only lifts 17 or 18 inches high. Just my thoughts

Correct. You will need to slice some stuff down to get full capacity.

The feed wheels are extra wide so you can stick in wood with a lot of branches, the chipper will just break them (off) and chip em. It's a really nice feature and a necessity with a crane. The large feed tray is also a nice bonus. If your used to a 12" machine, an 18" is an amazing upgrade. But you also get some negatives such as weight and physical size. The big motor options are a lot of money, but they are worth it IMO. The resale prices show they keep their value a lot better too.

MDS, your international chip will haul a 18" chipper and a full truck of chips, but you're really gonna feel it going up a hill. LOL
