Bandit’s newest product development; the hydraulic feed, drum-style Model 1290-H; is already receiving rave reviews.

This new Brush Bandit’s 37” diameter drum is nearly double that of competitive 12” drum style chippers on the market. This added diameter enables the 1290-H to cut nearly everything it is fed with the bottom half of the drum. Cutting in this manner, on a downward arc and on an angle, allows the 1290 to chip with ease and consume less fuel.
The larger chipper opening and powerful feed system allow the 1290-H to process limby materials with limited trimming. It also effectively processes material with very little vibration while producing a uniform, dimensional chip.

The 1290’s sleek design makes it easy to transport and maneuver. It is available with gas and diesel engine options up to 130 HP. It is also available as a self propelled unit with a Caterpillar 304 Rubber Tracked undercarriage.

Some popular options include a hydraulic winch, a hydraulic or mechanical swivel discharge spout and an Auto Feed Plus feed system governor.
