Chipper/Dump Combo

[Tree Frog]

I was looking at a bandit chipper/ dump combo unit. The 9" capacity intergrated on a trailer with an 8 yard dump box. Anyone have any experience with this machine or similar?

bandit chip box combo

i have seen it on their website. i have never really seen one in real life. it is better then driving a chip truck with a chipper behind it. you can just attach it to your pick up truck and you are ready to go chip some brush!

Look at the weight of that thing loaded with chips. Make sure you have a truck capable of pulling and stopping that thing.

Which would probably put you into a decent sized chip truck chassis anyway.

The unit is said to weigh 7000lbs, with 8 yard of chips at 527lbs/yd (4216lbs) gives a weight of 11,216lbs. I need to find out the GRVW that this thing is rated. Thanks.

I had considered getting one after I saw a fella towing one. But I too got a bit worried abuot the weight issue...
