bandit 90 chipper

[Merle Nelson]

Congrats on your first chipper. It doesn't quite look like it but, is that the year(s) where the wheel width was unusually narrow? (Prone to tipping in corners at speed.)

Tip: Support that exhaust. You don't want to deal with a broken manifold.

There is one of those on Search Tempest located in Pennsylvania with 41 hours on it. A municipality Had it and it was parked inside for years. They want a bit much for it at $13K I think is what they are asking.

 

[oldoakman]

Sorry, had the price wrong. It is $22K

 

[Merle Nelson]

Ouch!

How do you gauge what is a good price for this size what year etc. They tend to hold there value well

New base model 90XP with gas engine costs how much? Should be a bunch cheaper than that in my opinion. I thought I could get one new for $34K a couple of years ago - not sure.

Just bought this two days ago. She needs a chipper now. A used bandit 90 would be perfect, but I’d do a Morbark or maybe an Altec. I want a 9” I think... she’d pull a 12 but any 12 I can afford is probably beat to shit.

Nice box and it looks like 4x4... what’s under the hood? 550?

It’s an F450 superduty, rear wheel drive only, 7.5L 460 gas with auto transmission so electric over hydraulic dump. It started life as a Verizon service truck I guess and later this guy bought it and put a stake dump on and hired a welder/ fabricator to make a chip box. Still a wood deck in the box, so might have to replace that in a few years, but the rest of the box should last forever if I don’t let rust progress. Salty roads here, gotta keep up on it. The hydraulic pump is in the passenger side under body toolbox. Kinda out of the way and protected. Those boxes need a little sanding and prime/paint or there’ll be holes through em in 2 years.
