Bandit 1590

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

Are you a bandit dealer? I just bought a 250xp and will be needing some parts here shortly....

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

Yeah, I'm gonna cool it for a bit after further consideration. No big rush, and I already have a sweet 250 anyway.

I'm actually considering maybe just staying disk and going with a fully optioned out 255xp.. if and when the time comes.. I think that would be a sweet truck and chipper combo.. and a 255 only weighs another 800- 1000 pounds more than my 250. I'm not liking the way those drum chippers kinda seem puke out the chips, rather than blast em out like a disk.. seems kinda lame.

the problem with the chips puking out is from too small of a motor with too big of a cap, (buyer cheaping out) my vermeer 1800 with 170hp john deere doesnt seem to have a problem
