We Got A New Toy... Bandit 19xpc !

[@treecorps9043]

I am so happy for you brother!! Your are gonna love it!! I was hesitant about getting the 19xpc, but I'm so glad i did! Its time for you boys to start making a mountain of chips! I can't wait to see it in action when i get down there. Just remember...If it fits, it chips!! Semper Fi

[@wilhelmsteinert4733]

Could you put out the entire video of the salesman going over the machine. I'd appreciate it if you considered doing that. Thanks Will

[@romansh1357]

Do you have a honeymoon to the chipper? That sounds like you guys are having fun hopefully it doesn’t get plugged up as Vermeir.

[@michaelbouwer4285]

Still wash it about once a week ha! And it’s been really good I think we had one clog but was our fault trued chipping palm trunk probably not the wisest decision

[@justpalms9978]

We just got a 12xpc from John as well, holy Jesus that 19xpc is twice the size?

[@michaelbouwer4285]

He's a good guy 👍 and oh the things a monster I know it weigh just under 10k what about the 12xpc?

[@samstheman7633]

Keep your belt tight ! That belt was too loose when he checked it , bandits are the best. Chippers if you keep the belt tight knives sharp

[@michaelbouwer4285]

Thanks for the tip! It definitely is a wood munching machine! I was a little hesitant on the gas over diesel but it does not seem to struggle at all but it will drink some fuel though

[@samstheman7633]

@@michaelbouwer4285 I went through a clutch cause of stalling and bad belt tension on my brand new 12xpc the belt should always be tight if your loose and about to do a small job stop and tighten it , it can cause your autofeed to fail and your machine stall , it's a sweet chipper man congratulations!! I'm just trying to help you out I'm subscribing too! Check my channel out !

Michael , if you ever decide to sell your grapple truck , I'm interested how do I get in contact with you?

[@wilhelmsteinert4733]

Great machine, is this under 10k or are you in cdl territory?

[@wilhelmsteinert4733]

?

[@samstheman7633]

That machine equipped as it is is most likely under cdl , I believe the diesels push it over with weight

[@michaelbouwer4285]

Hey sorry been so busy havent been on! the machine is right at the 10k weight I think the paper work says 9980 lbs but I ha ent actually weighed it to check the accuracy

[@MrBigblock3272]

What size engine is it?

[@michaelbouwer4285]

I believe it's a 165 hp psi small block v8

Bandit are was better than a Vermeer . I hate myself saying that haha Nice Chipper Guys

[@michaelbouwer4285]

It is a beast ! We had a gas station by us have bad fuel and unfortunately I happened to fill up there and it started some low fuel pressure issue but hopefully easy fix 👍

Cool🌳eater...mulch anyone?

[@rubenfelix6452]

How much did u pay for it here in California I'm trying to buy one they r asking 90,000 yes 90,000

[@michaelbouwer4285]

I'd say you could maybe negotiate the price on that a little bit but also depends on how it's being built if there doing tandem axles and which ever after market accessories you wish to add, but I believe some of the competitors are over 6 figures for similar machines if I remember right.

[@thephishh]

That's about right. I'm in Iowa and have one on order. It's 96k that's with the gas motor, aluminum wheels, hydro chute, hydraulic jack, welded infeed tray, and bunch of smaller options like storage boxes 40 gallon tank etc etc

[@michaelbouwer4285]

@@thephishh how far behind are they on orders ? I had to wait 5 months for it worst than being a kid wondering when Christmas was going to come. Completely worth it though the amount of time the machine saves is incredible

[@thephishh]

@@michaelbouwer4285 i ordered my chipper 3 weeks ago and I'll get it next week or week after. My dealer already had a built slot reserved so we just changed the machine in the lineup

@@thephishh nice! It's definitely an animal of a chipper best of luck and stay safe 🙏
