I had a little Vermeer. I couldn't back it up for ####. I had to go to home depot and get a couple of those driveway markers to stick in the flag holes, kept walking into them then.
It was cute as a button. One day while on a job I said enough and went home called Bandit and they dropped off the 90 that day.

Why would the Vermeer and Bandit back any differently?

I have no real issues with either of the Vermeer's I have, nor the Morbark. The one I hate to back is really a personal tool.. but is the hydraulic splitter - can't see it until it has jack-knifed.

I've got a Vermeer 600 with the 27HP Kohler, and I'm satisfied with the power. I don't chip much over 4". I just cut any bigger wood to a decent length and throw it in the trailer.

I attached the chipper on the back of a 20' flatbed trailer. Made a 4'x7'x8' chip box up front, and the middle (and area beside the chipper) holds logs. Back of the truck is for saws and gear.

I initially bought a LOADHANDLER but figured the pickup would fill up too fast. Besides where do you put all the gear- my box is filled with that.

I think because of how small/short it is he couldn't see it when backing up.

I can see just fine, the phonebook fixed that. Yes, its cause its allready jacknifed when you are able to see it.

Ah ok. I forgot my 6" Vermeer has a modified/extended tongue which makes a huge difference in backing. (total length is about 15" or so).

Whatever works..

I was just looking at the Bandit 65XP specs on their website... with the diesel in it at 45hp I bet that thing would rock. Just not sure if I want to spend the money on it, this will be my first chipper. And for this season will only be used 1 maybe 2 days a week in most cases. I guess it all depends on what I can find used at what kind of price... I'm fairly mechanically inclined so I don't mind getting a deal on something thats a little scratched up and leaky, throwing a few new seals in. Sandblast and a coat of paint, company logo on there... Uh oh, daydreaming again.

There is a shop here in Barrie deevo, Wights Small Engines on essa rd. I went to highschool with the son of the owner, good friends with him. I know they deal in Bandit, so maybe I'll demo one this spring and see how I like it compared to the Vermeers. If you're interested and havn't seen one in action you could come out and try er' as well.

Got one myself. Really mean chipper. My problem with it, I have to constantly remind my guys, I do save and burn firewood. They seem to like to see how big of wood it takes to bog it down. When I'm 50' up and hear it bog down, I look down and they are feeding it a 6" or bigger tree head 30' long.
Doesn't seem to use much fuel either. Runs about 4 work days on a tank.

We've got a 625 chipper that started backfiring, so i pulled of the little 25hp kohler and bolted on a 36hp kohler and a 5hp honda for the hydraulics... Now that little chipper rocks!

 

[fishercat]

the 625 is the best chipper Vermeer has ever made.

i have one and have used their bigger chippers as well as many other brands.

Bandit is the best .Morbark is great too.

Pics or info on this set up?

The 36hp runs the chipper wheel, and the 5hp is just for the hydraulics....
It pretty much all bolted right up except that i had to use a short piece of 2" channel for the mounting bracket on one side.

I bet that fixed the under power problem.
