    WTB - HYDRAULIC WINCH for BANDIT 12XP

    Anyone else out there have experience with installing aftermarket winches on Bandits that went well?? Just curious. Thanks for all the input so far!

    WTB - HYDRAULIC WINCH for BANDIT 12XP

    Wow, that's quite a saga! I had an engine code issue with my 12xp that went in a similar trajectory with Bandit and a lame dealership that is several hours away, and almost a year later, I'm still not totally certain has been resolved. My scenario may not have been as extreme, but I definitely...

    WTB - HYDRAULIC WINCH for BANDIT 12XP

    Thanks I will look into whether a 19xpc winch would be compatible with my 12xp or not. What is the year and serial number of your 19xpc? I would still need to purchase the hydraulic installation kit from bandit and, of course, pay freight on getting the winch here to Maine. Thanks

    Analog, is your chipper a bandit? Did it already have the mounting plate for the winch? Or, did you have to fab the plate and hydraulics from scratch?

    WTB - HYDRAULIC WINCH for BANDIT 12XP

    Yes, the chipper has the factory mounting plate and hydraulic hookup. My Bandit dealer quoted $8k for the winch. I was wondering if there are any used winches out there? But taking note of Analog's comment, perhaps going new is the way to go?

    Ramsey vs Dynamic winch for Bandit 12xp

    DRBetz, do you happen to know whether the slower more powerful was a Ramsey or Dynamic? Definitely agree, I'll take slow/power over speed for tree work in general with other winches I used over the years.

    Ramsey vs Dynamic winch for Bandit 12xp

    I recently picked up a Bandit 12xp. Have always love these machines. This unit does not currently have a winch. In the market for a winch to install on this machine. Very curious about what experience people have had with Ramsey versus Dynamic hydraulic winches from Bandit for these machines...

    A solo negative rigging workflow

    Thanks for the clear explanation of your thought process. Definitely impressed with how the downrigger performs compared to other AFDs, especially with regards to its ability to handle a much broader weight range of pieces. The midline attachability really increases its usefulness in more...

    A solo negative rigging workflow

    Nice smooth system, that was sweet! Resulting from lack of available help in my region, I've spent the last decade solo rigging a fair amount. I do have a steady groundie now, but I definitely agree - nothing like the peace and acute focus of solo tree work. I just recently added the...

    FTC Micro 2.1 vs Stein SMB1000

    Yeah, that certainly sounds like the right thing to do. We'll probably just do the Muggs mod and work that for a while.

    FTC Micro 2.1 vs Stein SMB1000

    I have been thinking recently about welding aluminum fairleads, rubber blocks, and brackets on the back of the GRCS aluminum bollard to receive a 4" ratchet strap. It would have to be done right to take the load, but might make a pretty sweet rig in a light portable package. Or... just do the...
