    Starting to restore my new/old 220 hour 2003 Bandit 65 chipper (23 hp Kohler) to serve as my back up chipper

    That’s funny. That is the picture taken at the seller’s place he chained it so no one can steal it from his front yard.

    Starting to restore my new/old 220 hour 2003 Bandit 65 chipper (23 hp Kohler) to serve as my back up chipper

    Now I think about it, it's not a easy thing to upgrade to the newer one. How to remove the thread in that 2 hole. it might be tough with the angle. Now I'm wondering if this is indeed a 2003 modle or earlier one. It has a serial number of 004004. anyone know?

    Starting to restore my new/old 220 hour 2003 Bandit 65 chipper (23 hp Kohler) to serve as my back up chipper

    Took the old anvil off the machine, pretty rounded. instead of flip it, I might just upgraded to the newer design with two banjo bolts. installed muffler. adjusted the governor spring position and set screw to get as close to 3600 rpm as possible. it's a very stupid design on the 23 HP Kohler...

    Anyone know the engine options when it’s time to repower without major fabrication work, like direct bolt on?

    Oldoakman, that’s exactly what I’m going to do to it. It’ll be a brand new machine after I replaced everything needed n fresh paint. This might even become my primary chipper. The 250 is great. But the way I operate, every time we run the chipper I have to b there. Can’t trust my ground guy to...

    So. No clutch. Guess I just have to make sure nothing left behind in the flywheel chamber before shut it down. There is no play on the flywheel nor the feeding wheel when I tried hard to wiggle them. Also the feeding wheel teeth look sharp so the hour count is true

    it's definately square. Also, surprised to see no clutch (tensioner kind like the vermeer). when u crank start the engine, the flywheel spins too. Also, the flywheel is half as think as my 6" vermeer.

    If I were to buy this before I had my 250, it won’t be such a shocking disappointment when I first saw the 65 in person. My first chipper was the Vermeer 620 later repowered with a 25 hp engine. It served me well for 12 years. the 65 looks more like a neat toy, the feed table is sooo small even...

    If your Vermeer SC60TX has a leaky hydraulic pump, READ this!

    Do you use a chain cover or protector on your climbing saw when you are in the canopy?

    I’ll try to have my lanyards clipped to the left side as well. Not sure if it’ll work for me.
