Can anyone here comment on the weight of an older Bandit 90 chipper?
The one I'm considering is a 2004, with a JD 4045 non-turbo diesel (~90hp?). The Bandit website says 4800lbs for the current model.
I'm worried about it being too heavy for my truck (Hino FB 1817) to pull, since with the box full of chips its GVW is around 18000lbs. It has a small diesel in it, 168hp/368ft-lbs. It's fairly hilly around here, and the truck is already pretty slow pulling a gas 65XL when the box is full.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
