    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    Ok, so wanted to just give an update on the auto feed issue…Bandit guys said they are very confident it’s a belt tension issue and that all I need to do is tighten the belt…I hope they are right! I’m going to do that tomorrow, I know the specs (I guess) are 33lb of force with 5/16’s deflection...

    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    O that’s very informative! I’ll check those things, but yes the engine stalled because the auto feed didn’t work 100% sure if that Thanks so much!

    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    Was running the 12xp today and for some reason the auto feed didn’t work, and the engine even stopped! Anyone else have that? I didn’t think I’d have problems like that with a chipper that has 15 hours on it!

    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    ya, it’s a brand new computer screen even to the bandit guys they say…they are great guys there, they’re trying to help with some computer glitches (I think), so we’ll see… The temperature gun is a great idea! Thanks I’ll have to grab one or a high temp thermometer I read the manual, the high...

    Not sure if it has feed wheel speed control? It has a heavy vs light setting (not sure what that means exactly yet

    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    By the way, thanks reach and others, because I think you’re right about the oil heat, we ran it for a few hours today and no winch or no stopping the feed wheels and oil seems cooler…but for the record, it did seem surprisingly hot!

    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    Just an update: the leak seems to be coming from one of the fittings above the oil filter, and the dripping is splashing on the other connections and down the tank, making it look like it’s coming from other points.. guess I’ll need to fix that myself, so I’ll ask bandit what sealer they...

    Ya, my dealer! Exactly…let’s just say it’s probably best I not mention anything, I don’t want to increase my blood pressure too much

    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    I’ll give it a try, but I wonder why it looks like it’s leaking from all the ports/fittings etc as well, I am using brake cleaner to clean all the oil off, then I’m gonna run it again, and I might actually as funny as it sounds throw baking flour on it to see if I can see other locations. Where...

    HOT! Hydraulic oil tank! Chipper!

    Anyone have experience with very hot hydraulic oil? I was noticing, that my NEW chipper 7.7hrs on a 2023 12xp bandit chipper was leaking oil on a customer’s driveway and when I looked closer there was what looked like oil residue leaking from ALL the fittings and filter. Weird, then I put my...

    Experience with smaller/low-end chippers?

    It’ll be so funny for me, because for me the 12” 130hp bandit 12xp is huge!! Lol…but compared to lots of you all, I’m just a little baby fish in the ocean of tree services :)…I’m excited to feed it with my loader though!

    Experience with smaller/low-end chippers?

    I’ve used a bandit 65xp for years! Best 6” chipper on the market in my opinion! I’ve use the bearcat (who named that lol!), anyway it was lame! I’ve made good money with my bandit 6” (just bought a 12xp), but will keep the bandit for back up chipper!

    Fuel saver option? Worth it?

    Interesting to see this thread still kicking along…I decided to go with the fuel saver option, just because I find with out private tree working situations, we run into lots of times where unexpectedly I’m not at the chipper when I thought I would be, and it’s far longer than expected (lots of...

    Fuel saver option? Worth it?

    Hey guy’s correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m under the impression you can set it to idle down within any set time you determine. For example 30 minutes? Or 30 seconds? Or something like that, I was told you set it? Also I assume you can just choose to disconnect the option? Correct?
