I can't picture how to cut them off with a torch without melting the seals in the hydraulic motor. What did you do?

Any tips, tricks, or advice form an experienced operator? -Bandit 1590 XP, 2004 -Whoever replaced them last used screw set style on both the motor side and non motor side. The kit that I ordered came with 2 screw style, and 2 sets grip tight style, but I was under the impression that the...

Well, There is a bandit/bobcat dealership about 1 hour away from here. I am outside of Nashville. They have never changed a bearing before. Doesn't seem to hard to do, but I am 500 miles away from my buddie's welding shop. Grinder, torch, forklift, etc. That being said, do you know of anyone...

I am not sure why, but I can't see the link to the video.

So, do I have to pull the drum to replace the bearings? Anyone have experience with this? Do I need to replace both, or just the side that went bad? Does the drum need to be re-balanced? What gets me is that the drive belt side was always getting warmer. The one that went bad never got was...

Well, it was an auction item. I have put about 25 hours on it. It had 18.2 on the hour meter and now it was about 42. I had greased it a lot when I first got it. At least every day or twice a day.. In the morning and then after the job. At least 1 full dump truck load which is about 10 yards. I...

I have a 2003 Bandit 1590 and the non belt side or driver side bearing started smoking and then ceased. Smoke started coming out of the chipper chute which was accompanied by a loud clunking sound. Where can I get new bearings? I know I can get them through Bandit and through my local dealer...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have a Bandit 1590 and I just decided to overbuild the winch boom. I had it a little on the short side originally as I was trying to copy what I was seeing on the other bandit chippers... However at that length I could pick up larger logs. They would just get...

That's huge!!! I don't know how often you'll be using your chipper, but if it was me I would spend the extra money and get the MX series machine... They seem to have nicer hydraulics and feed box. The feed box is closer to what the commercial machines use. Your chipper, I mean tractor, wouldn't...

Yeah, I've done this a handful of times too. Not a big deal as far as I'm concerned. If you think about a manual transmission car or truck, you wouldn't want to try to start out in 5th gear from a dead stop with the RPMs at full blast. You'll burn something up fast... The disc or drum is so...

I have a buddy that has a small 35 HP diesel Kubota and was thinking to get something similar. Looks like a decent little PTO chipper. What are you going to be powering it with?

Hello, I wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this or not. I was just curious what the largest size branches and logs most factory winches were actually capable of pulling into the chipper's in feed. I want to build one on my chipper, but I wasn't sure about the length and angle. I...

I wanted to know why Dynamic Manufacturing stopped making chippers. Does anyone know? I worked with one a few years back. It was a big machine. A 510 model. Seemed to work great.

I got it fixed. I took it to a buddy's farm and he removed the 1st line coming off of the pump and going into the control block/power inlet. (So removing the line from the control block coming from the pump side) Put the line into a bucket, started the engine, engaged the clutch and after some...

I agree. Air is somewhere. Running the leaver up and down... As in using the forward and reverse or the lift/crush lever on the hydraulic cylinder while system is running? No sure where the pass valve is, or what that is.. I thought it was the little little screw that I opened on-top of the...

The title says it all. I drained the tank, did some small welding on a pin hole, and then added new fluid. Now the hydraulic motors and lift cylinder won't work. I have a woodchuck WC 17 with a belt driven hydraulic pump. So when I engage the clutch the disc starts to spin and a 2nd belt runs...
