Whole Tree Chippers
Bandit has manufactured whole tree chippers since 1988, and was the first to develop a self-propelled model. In 2005, Bandit expanded the whole tree chipper product line by producing a drum-style chipper, called the Model 2090. Since then, a complete line of highly productive drum-style chippers have been engineered. In 2021, Bandit announced the purchase of the Trelan company. This acquisition further enhanced Bandit’s line of whole tree chippers by now offering a diverse line of disc and drum style chippers.
Whole Tree Chippers
When original founder Mike Morey Sr. started Bandit, he was determined to build a quality, highly productive, heavy-duty chipper reducing customer downtime. Since 1983, this philosophy has not changed as each whole tree chipper is built with the highest of quality components and steel. The drum or disc inside each Bandit whole tree chipper is extremely durable. To compliment this durable design, each Bandit whole tree chipper is standard with a 5 year or 3,000 hour “GUTS” warranty covering the Bandit manufactured components of the feed system and disc/drum.
