Haaa yeh beer thirty maintenance is about all can pull off these days! Myself and my two guys. When not working trying to keep up with the family and all of the lovely back end business. Routine knives and fluid changes no problem but I don’t want to be doing major repairs in my driveway on a...
Ax 19 is too much. It’s over cdl and overkill they made the ax17 to be basically a lighter version of the ax19. But it’s 130k so F that haaa. I ran it and I wasn’t 130k impressed that’s for sure!
ranted about my 15xpc issues on the other thread. Long and short def and electric issues...
Appreciate the comment. I too have been a bandit man from day one. 90xp upgraded to 12xpc and currently 15xpc. The current machine has broken my heart. Coupled with the toss around of dealers, 3 diffent ones in 2 years in my area. Service is next to impossible and it seems like the best buddy...
Not too far diverted from my last thread but trying to make a big purchase desicion. Neither of my dealers have the machine i want available to demo. I’ve run the 15 version of both but only in diesel. It can get either with same setups and essentially same price and terms, Gas on both. I know...
What do you tow your chipper with, ie chip truck? The weight jump from the 15 to the 18 is my only concern. Otherwise bigger has always been better in my opinion. I have a dodge 5500 which never has a problem pulling my 15 with a full load of chips. It’s just a factor I’m weighing /considering
Def lock out code issues. Have had to fight with cat to cover. First time was within first year of owning. Pulled code that basically said it was run out of def but it wasn’t. Cat didn’t want to cover cost so I had to eat a $1300 diagnostic repair bill. 2 weeks later same code. Took it back...
Thanks for the heads up all. I’ve read through that 15xp post in the past but I’ll revisit it. From what my dealer says there no longer putting the ford in its this new psi engine. They’ve been running it in cali all year but that’s all I know. I currently have a 15xpc with a cat diesel. It...
Looking at a new 15xp. Bandit dealer said they recently switched over from ford 5.7 to psi 6.0. on there gas engines. Seeing if anyone has feedback on the machine so far? Currently running diesel but thinking about adding or switching. Thanks
Thanks, I’ll take another dig through. Only one I saw was the recent stein and it’s only 10ft. Great deal, but deal with too many large diameter trees to be worthwhile.
Bought off a fellow buzzer earlier in the year. Saw minimal use with him and myself and the crew put maybe 8 climbs on it. Just not for me. Asking $225.00 shipped or interesting trades. Ha
