Hello, new to this site.

The 245 has a 14" capacity. The Bandit 1890 is a 18" machine.
Also the Bandit 200 is considered a small 12", smaller feed rollers and generally no lift cylinder.
The Bandit 250 is considerably larger although still considered a 12". Larger feed rollers, thicker blades, lift cylinder and more horses.
The 245 or 255 is the next step up, same blades as a 250 but larger rollers, higher lift, larger frame and heavier.
 
Thanks. My 200 was custom built for Bartlett. It has three sets of knives lift cylinder and is plumbed for a winch. Also has Autofeed. Good point on the 14". I really don't want an 1890, but I do want a disc. Hmmm
 
The only 18" disc I know of is the Bandit 280. Big heavy thing with a real large disc. Problem with going bigger then 14" on a disc
is the stress of the larger disc, the high enter of gravity and the vibration level on such a big disc. The 280 was never very popular.
Once you'r over 14" a drum works much better. That way all the bigger chippers are drums. The Bandit 1890, 1990, Morbark 2400 and Vermeer BC1800 or BC2000 all very popular machines.
 
we run a bandit 280xp at the company i work at. we all love her, it will eat anything you can stuff into the rollers, and it throws chips much farther than both our 1890 and 1990 drum chippers we have.

It is a heavy piece of iron though, its pulled by either our 26,000gvw or bigger chip trucks.
 
Hey Matt! Good to see you finally make it to the Buzz. Great network here.
Where do you get the equipment you sell from? How long have you been in the business? How did you get into it?
 
Bandit 1590s have been able to chew through 18" since a little before 2007... we have two...much more compact than a 280.
