My buddy and I just bought a Bandit XP90. Everything we read said that the XP 90 was a great chipper. We are having some small problems with it and if anyone has any information they could provide I would really appreciate the help.
First the chipper seems to get small pieces of wood stuck length wise across the back of the top feed wheel causing the feed wheel to get stuck in the up position. It has happened twice already and the only remedy has been to take the jack off the tongue and jack up the hole thing and pull the pieces out by hand. Really slows down the day having to take the whole thing apart and fix it.
Second the chipper is getting clogged up with leaves. The other chippers we have had just took the leaves without a problem along with the brush. This thing is choking on them. We have to keep on reversing the feed wheels and removing them from the feed chute. We end up with a huge pile of leaves and small sticks at the end of the day. It seems like it is just stripping the leaves off of the sticks rather than chipping them up as well. Never seen anything like it and neither have the other guys I work with. Anyone that can offer some guidance I would really appreciate it.
