    2013 bandit 75xp bad jamming problem behind feeding wheel

    The chipper had been working the way it should, not nearly as powerful as the other 6” bandit I have that I put a 40hp Kohler, but good reliable one. It just happened a few days ago, checked knifes and anvil. They’re all in good shape. Again it jams all the time and it’s very hard to get the...

    I have a 12” 250 with 4bt diesel that I almost never get to drag it out. My workhorse has been an early design of 65, much lighter built. I put one of those 999cc kohler on it when I first got it and it’s been serving me very well. Planning to get rid of the 250 and just use the two 65. 2013...

I heard people talking about 250 with quad roller. Is it...

    Need help replacing busted hose on Branch Manager grapple

    The hose need replacing has the connector inside the metal top thing. Don’t see an easy way to take off the hose and replace it. Hopefully I don’t need to totally disassemble the grapple to get to it. Any idea or experience? Thx. Erwin
