    This is the Akimbo

    I’ve been saying this since they opened! Ray and Kyle are great. I haven’t really dealt with the other guys yet. I have to be careful going in because I will spend hours talking to them. It’s just the way they are!

    Water separator freezing up on Vermeer

    Correct my DW has the separator. Very simple to pull the drain out the bottom every hundred or so hours. I put a Pyrex dish under there to catch the fuel and see how bad the water is. Gives me the gauge am I draining often enough.

    Water separator freezing up on Vermeer

    Haven’t had that issue since we went gas but if the water separator is freezing, is there excessive water in it. If so drain it and figure out if you are pulling water off the tank bottom (that was our problem as our chipper sat outside). If it’s a gel issue (not water) you will need to cut the...

    Dutchmans

    Run and hide before this one blows up. Never, to risky around expensive property. But I’m sure a video from a local guy will show how effective it is. Lol

    got kicked off the job

    Sorry bud, with big work comes big expense it doesn’t work the way you are thinking. A 10k removal probably has a lot of big expensive equipment on it and the take home at the end isn’t all that much higher. As for the original question; we work for quite a few communities, commercial...

    Bandit 15XP Review (brand new)

    All correct and that’s where they stop for the warranty. So much for that hitch to tray warranty right. I just heard about the timing thing a moth or so ago when we thought our catalyst might be clogged. Psi said if the timing on the distributor is off the emissions will plug the exhaust in a...

    grinding bamboo roots

    We nuked a large patch up the street from us a couple years ago. Probably 50 feet deep and 75-100 feet long, of the big stuff, 3” by 30’ tall. We ran it over with an ambusher mower attachment for a large skid steer. Ground the debris up right on top but did no grind the stumps or anything...

    my switch is in the control panel. Toggle sticks through and the wiring is right behind it.

    Bandit 15XP Review (brand new)

    Yes certainly check the wires on the switch. We had the screws fall out of the back of ours very early on. Yours may just be loose right now. It was a very small screw, that we could not find. Luckily we are resourceful when problems like this arise and took the trailer light plug apart and...

    Bandit 15XP Review (brand new)

    NOPE! It’s a “wear item”. They will update the distributor if you have the old version (which it sounds like you might). They wanted me to drag it two hours up, two hours back and pay them two hours labor and parts to change the cap and rotor! I had 265 hrs, WELL within my warranty. My bandit...

    Bandit 15XP Review (brand new)

    Yes go for the cap and rotor! That’s what ours started doing at first. 20 hrs later it wouldn’t run enough to chip with it, then it just died. Don’t buy the cheapest either by the best money can buy. And get a dab of dielectric grease on the cap contacts. We aren’t sure if it will prolong its...

    Bandit 15XP Review (brand new)

    Distributors are a pain in the tookas! PSI says to replace cap and rotor every 400 hrs, owners manual says 800 and the dealer says every 200! And I’m only got 160 out of my last! But it’s been disgustingly humid/wet here so the contacts corrode. Also if by chance you have any engine issues...

    Not so much afraid of the tier 4 engine as the damn price tag that goes with it!

    Yes... it’s on my chipper at the shop! PM me (basically as a reminder and I’ll grab it tomorrow before or after work! Edit: Oops! Didn’t read all the posts!

    Bandit 15XP Review (brand new)

    All the pros and cons we found when we bought our 1390 (older but same machine). I ranted about the fuel tank size back then but hell we were able to get 5 16 yard loads on a tank. We haven’t had an issue with burning a full tank in less than a day since our Osage adventure but knife sharpness...

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    We used an older 800 before we purchased the1050 as our mini mini went down and the 800 is all the rental yard had. The older ones were under powered terribly even for trees... but DW has since corrected that lag somehow as we demoed a newer one and it was fine. The more HP gives us options...

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    800 and 1050 are pretty much identical except the horse power. With the horse power increase comes emissions. Don't think DEF and all that. They manage it with a Particulate filter that must clean (about 75-100 hours depending on idle time). There is a computer on the 1050 that is nice for...

    Ditch Witch Sk755 Roller Bearings

    Every 8-10 is a bit excessive (especially considering I think their hour meters run fast). To adequately check the slop the rollers need to be off the ground and unless you have found a silver bullet that is a PIA. But I will say making sure they are adjusted properly will extend their useful...

    Ditch Witch Sk755 Roller Bearings

    We went through the undercarriage of our 1050 today. We’ve been noticing a bit of slop in the rollers so we went after it. Had two outer bearings that we questioned but when we pulled them out they were fine. All of the main (6) rollers were loose and took a 1/6th turn on the castle nuts. We...
