Reliable Drive Systems
Bandit stump grinders feature powerful drive systems that allow them to go where most competitive units only dream of. These units are capable of traversing difficult terrain, allowing them to be utilized for a wide range of applications. Heavy-duty individual drive motors with brakes are utilized on all self-propelled units, giving each grinder the power to travel up hills and through muddy conditions with ease. Each motor features a braking system, holding the grinder in place while grinding. These powerful motors help the unit climb chip piles, reducing tire spin and repositioning, thus increasing production.[/expand]
High Quality Control Valves
All Bandit stump grinders feature heavy-duty control valves that last. Many competitive units are known for using valves that wear quickly, leading to costly repairs and downtime. All Bandit manual control grinders are equipped with these heavy-duty control valves ensuring years of dependable service.

Grading Blade (optional)
Speed up site cleanup with an optional hydraulic grading blade on a Bandit stump grinder. The blade is easily controlled from the control levers and can significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to clean up chips after a stump is ground. Faster cleanup means the operator can get to the next stump or job site faster, increasing productivity.
Large Fuel and Hydraulic Tanks
Each Bandit stump grinder comes equipped with large fuel and hydraulic tanks, reducing lost production time due to refueling and increasing the cooling capacity of the hydraulic system.
Engine Options
Several stump grinder models are offered with a variety of engine options. Customers can choose the engine they prefer, based on a performance or service standpoint.
Low Ground Pressure and High Stability
Heavy-duty high-flotation tires on our self-propelled units provide maximum stability and flotation, improving performance on uneven terrain and wet ground conditions. The high flotation tires and turf-friendly tracks used on our track units are appealing to those who want to limit yard damage and those working in soft, wet conditions and uneven terrain.
