WTB - HYDRAULIC WINCH for BANDIT 12XP

A few years ago, I was lucky to find one on the buzz from a guy who removed it because it was getting in the way of machine loading, and he didn't use it. Getting it mounted and plumbed and functional was a whole massive issue and it still doesn't quite work like it should. Good luck! A chipper without a winch is like a pb+j without the j, in my book.

Was the chipper built with the mounting plate factory installed? If so, you should be able to buy a winch assembly from your local Bandit dealer.

Yes, the chipper has the factory mounting plate and hydraulic hookup. My Bandit dealer quoted $8k for the winch. I was wondering if there are any used winches out there? But taking note of Analog's comment, perhaps going new is the way to go?

Analog, is your chipper a bandit? Did it already have the mounting plate for the winch? Or, did you have to fab the plate and hydraulics from scratch?

If it has the factory setup, I would just buy the factory winch, or sell the chipper and buy one with a winch on it. Buying used often means buying something with issues, or something incomplete, and if you do that you may end up spending even more before you get all the parts and plumbing you need.

Sounds like solid advice, will do. Thanks!

I'm unsure if they are mostly universal or not, but we were debating selling the winch on our 19xpc...
