Designed mainly for utility line contractors, the Model 200UC has also become a popular unit for Tree Services, Rentals, Municipalities and Landscapers looking for a low cost, light weight chipper with the ability to occasionally chip material up to 12″ capacity. The 200UC is currently the most popular 12″ capacity disc-style chipper offered due to its weight, capacity and price.
The powerful dual feed wheel system is driven via (2) 15.9 CID hydraulic motors providing approximately 3,376 pounds of pulling power. The optional hydraulic lift cylinder is recommended for additional pulling and compressing power making the unit easier to feed and more productive.
Key Features
• Large 14” x 17” chipper opening and engine options up to 84 horsepower.
High-Velocity Discharge
Smooth transitions from the chipper housing to the discharge spout eliminate hang-ups that can plug the chipper or slow the chip discharge velocity. The transition, along with cupped fan blades, combine to discharge chips at maximum velocity. The cupped fan blades sling the chips as they come off the knife reducing the energy needed to discharge the chips while reducing fuel consumption.
Easy to Maintain
Couplers attaching the feed wheels to the hydraulic motors are easy to remove and replace should a hydraulic motor fail. All hydraulic components are easy to access and service.
Heavy-Duty Chipper
The Bandit 12” models are equipped with:
• 40” diameter x 1-1/4” thick disc
• 2 solid pockets
• 4” chipper shaft at hub
• 2-7/16” flange-mounted bearings
Built To Last
The chipper disc, housing and shafts, when properly maintained, have a life of up to 10 to 15 years, or more.
Steel Fuel Tanks
The Model 200UC has a 24.5 gallon fuel tank. These high-capacity tanks should provide more than a day’s fuel supply for most applications.
Durable Chipper Disc
The chipper disc, housing and shaft are so rugged that very rarely do they need to be replaced.
Adjustable, Rotatable, Replaceable Anvil
The four-sided anvil provides four usable edges. The anvil adjustment is simple, with bolts and nuts for adjustment.
Wide Chipper Openings
The Model 200UC has a 14” high by 17” wide infeed throat opening, with an infeed hopper that is 29” high by 45” wide. All 12” Brush Bandit models are built with a sturdy infeed hopper made of 3/16” thick steel.
Proven, Dependable, User-friendly
Bandit’s 12” capacity hydraulic-feed disc-style chippers are the chippers that all other 12” chippers are compared to. With three models to choose from, these chippers have been the standard in the tree care industry. These dependable chippers are known for their ability to efficiently process limby materials, logs and trees up to their 12” capacity.
Powerful Dual Feed Wheel System
Bandit’s Model 200UC chippers are equipped with two horizontal 17” wide by 7-½” diameter hydraulic feed wheels and with 15.5 cubic inch hydraulic motors. The dual feed wheels on the Model 200UC feature 15.5 CID motors generating 6,329 in/lbs. of torque for each feed wheel, along with 1,688 lbs. of pulling power for each feed wheel. There are two wheels – one on top and one on the bottom. The powerful dual wheel feed system makes it easy to chip large diameter material and multiple stems. It also makes it easy to chip material with multiple limbs, reducing the need for trimming. The larger feed wheel also climbs the bigger material easier.
Infeed Pan Lift Assist
The heavy-duty fold-out infeed pan on the larger Bandit chippers tend to be on the heavy side due to their size and strength. These spring assists make it easy to raise and lower the infeed pan.
Angle Feed
Bandit’s 12” disc-style chippers are set at an approximate 45° angle to the flow of material into the chipper. That, in conjunction with the chipping angle of the knife, assists the feed system by pulling material into the chipper. The pulling action of the chippers assists the feed system in getting wood from the feed system to the chipper knives. The angle feed is also a much easier way of cutting the material, which means the machine will chip with less vibration, consume less fuel, and will chip larger diameter material with lower horsepower. The advantage of this angle feed is best compared to whittling, where it is much easier to cut with the grain rather than going against or across the grain.
