WHY CHOOSE A BRUSH BANDIT?
The choice is simple! More industry
professionals prefer Bandit.
Large chipper openings and powerful feed systems collapse
limbs allowing multiple stems and rough material to flow
smoothly through the chipper. These feed systems have the
power to pull whole trees into the chipper with ease.
These high-performance chippers have the ability to
dispose more of the tree at take down, reducing trimming
and chain saw work.
Give a Bandit a try. You will experience lower labor costs,
shortened removal time, reduced operator fatigue, as well
as the benefits of all the safety features designed to protect
the operator. That’s the Bandit difference!
Dependable, trouble-free performance
starts with the disc or drum.
The chipper housing, whether it is a disc or a drum, is solidly
built of welded construction to handle the pounding that
results from the chipping of larger materials. The knives
are set at a precise angle so that they pull wood into the
chipper, while limiting or eliminating kick back: key to our
chippers’ high production and dependability.
All of our disc and drum chippers are equipped with
oversized chipper shafts and bearings. A smooth chipping
action limits vibration and reduces maintenance.
Learn more about the differences between disc- and drum-style
chippers on pages 14 and 15.

INTRODUCING:
007XP SERIES
Just when you thought
they couldn’t possibly get
any better.
Introducing the 007XP series of brush chippers
from Bandit. We’ve listened to the comments,
needs and suggestions of our customers and of
industry professionals in order to bring you the
next generation of chippers from Bandit. From
enlarged chipper openings to improved paint
processes and decals, these new chippers will get
the job done quicker and more efficiently than
ever before.
New! Model 255XP.
This brand new model from Bandit is a 15”
capacity machine.
Larger chipper openings.
MODEL 1290XP-The Model 1290XP is now
a 15” capacity machine with an enlarged
throat opening.
MODEL 1590XP-The Model 1590XP is now
a 17” capacity machine with an enlarged

of our drum chippers. Having a strong drum is
essential due to the larger volumes and larger
diameters that these chippers will process. The
drum in your Bandit 007XP chipper will not fail.
Easy-climb tensioning springs.
Now more durable, with heavier gussets for added
durability.
Enlarged chipper openings.
Many of the 007XP chippers feature larger
openings, meaning greater capacity and increased
efficiency.
Durable folding in-feed pans.
Now constructed out of heavier material with
added structural support.
Don’t forget about the options! Bandit chippers
can be outfitted with any number of options to
help make your operation as efficient as possible.

EFFICIENCY IS #1.
Super-sized feed systems make it easier to process limby materials.
The super-sized infeed options allow limby material to be pulled into the chipper by increasing the width of the
feed wheels. The larger throat opening and feed wheels then taper down to the same opening at the disc or
drum as a standard machine.
AUTO-FEED PlUS
LIKE NO OTHER: Bandit’s patented Auto-Feed Plus System
Our patented Auto-Feed Plus governs the feed system. If the engine lugs to the point of stalling, Auto-Feed
Plus automatically stops the feed system and reverses the feed wheels to pull the wood out of the cut. Backing
the material from the cut saves fuel, extends knife life, and provides faster engine recovery. When the engine
regains full RPM, Auto-Feed Plus resumes the feed system.
Auto-Feed Plus minimizes plugging, improves chip quality, improves fuel economy, and improves knife life by
backing the wood out of the cut and reducing the heating of knives caused by stopping wood at the knives.

A POlYURETHANE PAINT FINISH
Better than a powder coat.
Unlike many of our competitors, our chipper
components are welded together rather than
bolted. This method of construction makes a
powder coat finish impractical. Instead, Bandit
utilizes top-of-the-line Dupont Imron® paint for a
professional look that will stand the test of time.
Our process begins when the chippers come off
the line. Welding slag is removed and the chippers
are put through a phosphoric bath to remove
debris, grease and oil. They are then primed with
a primer specifically designed for Imron® paint,
and receive a coat of Imron® polyurethane paint.
The finish is cured in a drying room before going
to final check-out, where decals are applied. Your
chipper receives a finish that will hold up well and
resist chipping to provide the strongest machine
possible.
Six standard colors are offered: Bandit yellow, CAT
yellow, green, alert orange, black and white. We
also offer custom colors for a nominal fee.
* Colors shown are printed references. Actual color may vary slightly.
REPlACEABlE AlUmINUm FENDERS
Dress up the appearance of your chipper.
Replaceable aluminum fenders cover the tires
and are standard on the 12” machines, the Model
255XP, Model 1290XP and Model 1590XP. They are
available as an option on the Models 65XP, 90XP
and all 18” hand-fed chippers without loaders.
A machine’s fenders absorb more abuse from
road salt, dirt, sand and debris thrown by the
towing vehicle than any other part of the machine.
Aluminum fenders look sharp, resist chipping and
corrosion, and are easily replaced should they be
damaged.

DISC vS. DRUm?
We offer two distinct styles of hand-fed chippers: discs
and drums. Each have their advantages. We also offer
conventional drum-style self-feeding chippers.
The conventional drum is a good machine for brush and
trimmings. It is simple and economical to own and operate,
but does not have the capabilities of processing larger
diameter and limby materials that a chipper with a hydraulicfeed
system can process.
Disc-style advantages:
Disc-style chippers are set on an approximate angle of 45°
and chip larger diameter materials better than a drum.
This angle allows the wood to be chipped with the grain,
creating less vibration and consuming less energy.
Drum-style advantages:
Drum-style chippers have larger openings with feed
systems more closely coupled to the chipper. They
collapse limbs easier and can chip more material at one
time. They also process fibrous materials common in
warmer climates easier than a disc-style chipper.
DRUm-STYlE CHIPPERS
Our drum chippers feature oversized 37” drums, allowing
most of the material to be chipped on the bottom half
of the drum on an angle with the grain of the wood,
similar to a disc, thus operating more efficiently. Typical
drums consume more fuel, create more vibration and
require more horsepower due to the cutting action
of the drum. Many of our competitors’ drum chippers
have 20 or 22-1/2” diameter drums. The arc of the
smaller drums chip into, across and with the grain
when chipping large diameter materials. Because of our
oversized drums, Bandit’s hydraulic-feed drum chippers
consume less fuel and chip with less vibration.
DISC-STYlE CHIPPERS
Similar to whittling, cutting with the knives at a fixed
angle requires less energy to chip, which reduces fuel
consumption. By cutting on a 45º angle, a disc will chip
larger material with less horsepower and less vibration.

CHIPPER DISCHARgE CHUTES
These discharge features and options will
save time and money.
Discharge chips in any direction
All but the conventional drum chippers are equipped with
270° swivel discharge spouts that are easy to swing. A
hand-adjustable flipper at the end of the discharge can be
adjusted to direct chip flow downward. Discharge options
make it easier to swivel and raise the height of the discharge
without tools, ensuring fully loaded chip boxes and fewer
trips to the dump site.
Discharge Transitions
Both our drum- and disc-style chippers are equipped with
smooth transitions where chips flow from the chipper hood
to the discharge. The transitions deposit chips in the center
of the discharge without creating any edges or rough spots
that might inhibit the flow of chips. Smooth transitions
mean that the chips throw harder, fully loading chip trucks
and making the chipper less likely to plug.
ADJUSTABlE EASY-ClImB SPRINg TENSIONINg SYSTEm
Our patented system provides down pressure on the top feed wheel, adding crushing power to the feed
wheels. The springs are designed so that they provide little down pressure when the top wheel is in the down
position. They also make it easy for the top wheel to open up to accommodate larger materials, adding pressure
as the opening between the wheels expands.
SlIDE BOX FEED SYSTEm: A trouble-free guide for feed wheels.
The top movable feed wheel in most of our hand-fed chippers runs in a trouble-free slide box and on hardened
plastic wear slides which should provide years of service before needing to be replaced. This slide box allows
the top feed wheel to move straight up and down with the flow and diameter of material passing through
the feed system into the chipper. This trouble-free system for carrying the top feed wheel allows direct down
pressure for crushing material and the amount of pressure can be increased with the optional hydraulic
lift cylinder. There are no pivot arms where wood can collect and bind the feed system. All feed wheels are
supported with heavy-duty bearings on both ends. The feed wheel drive motors attach to the feed wheel shafts
with dependable tapered couplers. Should a feed wheel motor or feed wheel need to be changed, it is easy to
do by removing the coupler.
DEPENDABlE FEED SYSTEmS
All Bandit chippers, with the exception of the 65XP, 95XP, 1290
and 1690 have two horizontal feed wheels with knife-edge
teeth that climb the wood being fed and pull material into the
chipper. All have extremely powerful hydraulic motors. The
feed systems are so powerful that they will pull whole trees into
the chipper.

you more money than any other
chipper on the market!
They are more productive and will convert your
wood waste to chips faster.
They are rugged machines that will operate day in
and day out with limited downtime.
They are the most dependable chippers on the
market.
The throwing action will load more material into
your chip trucks, reducing trips to the dump site.
They consume less fuel.
They are available with options and features that
will make you more productive and efficient.
Because of the quality and popularity of Bandit
chippers, you will receive more at trade or resale.
Bandit chippers are simple and easy to maintain.
INNOvATION AND DEDICATION
The little things and attention to detail set us apart from the competition.
Our anvils are easy to change and adjust. Bandit’s drum chippers have a two-sided anvil, while the disc
chippers have four-sided anvils. This means there are either two or four surfaces to dull before they need
to be replaced. Two patented cushioned springs make it easier to raise and lower the larger infeed trays.
A torflex axle with a rubber cushion provides a smooth, dependable ride. The axles are backed by a
manufacturer’s warranty (contact your authorized Bandit dealer or sales representative for details).
Bandit also offers a
complete range of
towable and selfpropelled
whole tree
chippers with up to
860 horsepower.
18 19
(SHOWN AT RIGHT)
TAKE THE CHIPPER TO THE TREES
Bandit offers a self-propelled undercarriage option for all chippers, including
those up to 213-horsepower.
The self-propelled undercarriage option eliminates the need to carry and forward trees and brush. Caterpillar
rubber-tracked undercarriages provide our self-propelled chippers with the power, clearance and stability for
off-highway road work. These self-propelled chippers are ideal for land clearing as well as right-of-way and rail
line maintenance. Adding a winch option enhances the machine’s ability to process whole trees. A radio remote
control with tether remote backup is provided.

20
WHERE CAN I GET A WINCH LIKE THAT?
Turn to the next page! most Bandit chippers are available with winch options that can easily be
installed by an authorized Bandit dealer. Call your representative for details.
INFEED SYSTEmS
Bandit’s sloping infeed pans
make feeding piles of brush
and big materials into the
chipper a breeze.
The sloping infeed tray enables the
operator to slide materials into the
feed system as opposed to the flat style
infeed tray, which requires material to be
elevated horizontally to be processed.
The folding trays that are standard on
all Bandit hand-fed chippers provide a
great area to advertise your company’s
business and reduce the overall traveling
length of the machine. Optional weld-on
trays are also available. Contact a Bandit
representative for details.
Clean Out Door
An easy-to-open trap door is located under
the bottom feed wheel and allows the
operator to remove materials that might
hang up in the bottom feed wheel.

FEATURES AND OPTIONS
[for Bandit chippers]
Knife Saver
(OPTION)
The Knife Saver is a unique and inexpensive hand-held knife sharpening
device that easily touches up chipper knives while they are still in the
machine. The Knife Saver reduces knife sharpening costs and increases
chipper performance, chipper productivity and chip uniformity. Severely
nicked or damaged knives must be replaced.
loader Attachment
(OPTION)
Loader options are a must for handling big wood and for high volume
applications. Ease the task of feeding larger diameter material and piles
of brush into these units with the loader option. These unique loaders
offer either a 45º swing in two directions or a 90° swing with a 70° swing
towards the curb, depending on model. Call for details.
Engine Filter Pre-Cleaner
(OPTION)
An engine filter pre cleaner is a must-have option for extending the life of
the engine’s air filter.
gear-Type Hydraulic Pumps
(STANDARD ON MOST MODELS)
This pump provides live hydraulic oil flow to the feed system and some
of the hydraulic options that might be added to the chipper, such as a
hydraulic swivel discharge spout or hydraulic winch.
Self-Propelled Track Undercarriage
(OPTIONAL)
Eliminate the need to forward trees and brush with the self-propelled
track undercarriage option, available on all hand-fed chippers - including
those up to 213-horsepower. Caterpillar rubber-tracked undercarriages
provide our self-propelled chippers with the power, clearance and
stability for off-highway road work. Self-propelled chippers are ideal for
land clearing as well as right-of-way and rail line maintenance.
Debris Screen
(STANDARD)
Liquid-cooled engines are equipped with corrugated radiator debris
screens that provide a convenient means to clean debris from the
machine that might otherwise plug the radiator. Clean radiators are
important for maximizing the performance of the power unit.
Operator Safety Control Bar
(STANDARD)
Available on hand-fed chippers. A control bar that wraps around three
sides of the infeed chute controls the direction of the feed wheels. Push
forward to reverse the material out of the chipper, pull to make the feed
wheels pull material into the chipper.
Hydraulic lift Cylinder
(OPTION)
To apply additional pressure on the top feed wheel to crush and compress
limbs, select the hydraulic lift cylinder option. The lift cylinder makes it
easier to feed larger materials into the chipper and allows for the top
feed wheel to be raised and locked in the ‘up’ position to make it easy to
inspect. If the hydraulic lift cylinder is not ordered, the tongue jack can
also be used to lock the top feed wheel to inspect the disc/drum, make
anvil adjustments, and check anvil clearance.
Hydraulic Winch
(OPTION)
A great labor saving tool is the hydraulic winch option. The winch
greatly reduces hand carrying of material while reducing the need to cut
and trim. The winch is a great tool for dragging material from tight or
restricted areas that are not accessible to the chipper. The winch is also
available with a remote control. A heavy duty valve plate “cover”, mounted
above the infeed chute, also serves as a winch mount, making it easy to
add a winch at a later time.
Remote Control (patented)
(FOR WINCH OPTION, ABOVE)
This allows full control of the winch. The person setting chokers or ties
for the material being winched into the machine can also control the
functions of the winch, making it easier to drag material to the chipper
and feed system.
Hydraulic Tongue Jack
(OPTION)
A hydraulic tongue jack is offered for many of our hand-fed chippers and
are especially popular with larger models with heavier tongue weights.
Hydraulic Pressure Check Kit
(OPTION)
This recommended option provides an easy way to check hydraulic
pressures to make sure the hydraulic system is operating at the correct
relief pressure. This will ensure your chipper feed system is operating at
peak performance.

*BASED ON THE COMPETITION’S CHIPPER OPENINGS IN THE SAME CLASS.
An optional dual-feed wheel system improves the
performance of the Model 65XP when chipping limby
materials (shown below, center).
Model 65XP. Extremely productive:
this machine will easily keep two
people busy feeding it. The 6” x 12”
chipper opening is twice as big as
competitive 6” chippers. Limbs and
branches feed easier, and twice as
much material can be fed into the
chipper at one time.
The feed wheel is twice as long
and larger in diameter than the
competition. The wheel climbs and
effectively pulls big material into
the chipper. The 12” wide chipper
opening and powerful single feed
pulls and crushes forked and crotched
materials, forcing it into the chipper,
reducing the need to trim.
The Model 65XP easily converts brush,
tree limbs and prunings, including
fibrous materials such as pine boughs
and palm fronds, into dimensional
chips. The low-profile slanting infeed
tray is easy to feed.
Ideal for...the everyday rental user, the light tree removal
contractor, and the medium-capacity landscape contractor
looking for a light-weight, high production brush chipper.

system. This machine is built for
heavy-duty production. The wide
17” chipper opening, coupled with
the powerful feed system, allows
this chipper to process material with
multiple limbs as well as large pieces
up to 9” diameter. The Model 90XP
has the power to pull whole trees into
the chipper. Like all Bandit chippers,
the 90XP will limit trimming as well
as trips to the dump site. If you are
looking for a high production chipper
that is easy to tow give the Model
90XP a look.
Model 95XP. This unique disc-style
chipper is designed to excel in
chipping fibrous and leafy materials.
The powerful single feed wheel is
parallel to the chipper disc, and
material feeds at a right angle into
the chipper. The feed wheel is
close coupled to the chipper disc,
improving the machine’s ability to
chip fibrous materials. The 95XP is
built much like the 90XP as far as size
and ruggedness and features a 45”wide
infeed chute.

infeed hopper and used to stop and reverse
the feed system.
