    Chipper and box combo for sale

    I don't usually post stuff like this. This is a very rare item for sale. You don't see these often. Please remove mods if the post breaks the rules. I thought someone on here might want this.

    I thought long and hard about getting one a while back. To my knowledge Bandit is the only producer and only makes two models. Would be pretty convenient for the on the smaller side tree biz.

    Nice find

    I called him just to see if he'd be interested in a trade for my bandit 200+. I wouldn't mind having a small unit like that for small pruning jobs.

    Sounds like it only has a 27hp or so gasser on it though. Doesn't sound like much power - even for a 6" machine, does it?

    It would be very useful for me. I think it would be hard going down to a 6" chipper from a 12". But it would save a trip on most jobs.

    Scott and STL (and anyone else who wants to chime in)...

    I'm starting to wonder if my bandit 200+ is going to sell before winter hits. I get a lot of inquiries but no takers. Do you guys think $8400 is a reasonable asking price taking into account the current equipment market? If not, what would it be worth if it was selling in your area and shipping wasn't a concern?

    PM me with your answers if you don't mind, please.

    The guy selling his on craigslist said he checked and they list for around $26k. I would guess it depends somewhat on engine options if different ones are available.

    The reality, however, is the second it leaves the bandit lot, it's value drops $10k. I'm sure the one on craigs list could be picked up for $8k, maybe even less, if someone really pursued it. He sounded eager to sell or make a trade as he wants to go 'pan for gold in the klondike'!

    BTW, he said it was a '95 with about 1400 hrs on it and has a 27hp kohler gas. Looks like a paint job is in order...that is one ugly orange!

    I don't mind the orange but all the rust. Geez. I'm so glad it doesn't snow here.

    I have one of the chip box combo's. Mine has a 40 hp Deutz diesel though, and a 9" capacity. When I bought it used from a dealer he told me the same unit new was around 35K. That one pictured looks like a lot smaller chipper unit than mine. The feed chute is also missing on that one.

    They are a handy little machine. Especially for the smaller guy, or someone wanting to add another crew without the extra expense of more trucks and chippers.

    i always wanted one of those since they came out late 80's. I thought they would be good for a small company which is what I want mine to be someday.
