Bandit 990 feed wheel speed

[Bill Becker]

We have a Bandit 990 with 900 hours on it. Relatively little trouble with it over the years. Recently installed the retrofit kit to slow down the feed wheel speed. Makes chipping dead Ash brush much better, doesn't throw it up so violently.

I talked to the local dealer here about wanting to add that on a couple years ago, he didn't know there was a kit as I recall.
I had a friend with a 1390 that had that flow control, seemed like a really good idea.

How's it working on your 990, how much did it cost. I am going to hit 900hrs on mine this week.

Cost less than $600.00. Includes all hardware and hoses. Need to weld a bracket to the side. Works very well. The chipper is less likely to clog and its safer to be near the infeed area since the brush doesn't fly up and down as much. I recommend it.

Thank you

The Bandit dealer I bought the chipper from. Flow Control # 904-0011-51.
The kit I bought is for the 990 with lift cylinder and autofeed plus.
Not sure if its different for other configurations.

Pretty sure that's what I have.

Seemed to me the dealer I asked about it didn't have any info
