Josh Guin, owner of OakBros Tree Care and Removal (Bloomington, Ill.) started where a lot of "tree guys" do...with a chainsaw and a pickup truck and a whole lot of determination. And he's turned that early passion into an increasingly successful full-service tree care and wood waste recycling operation in the heart of central Illinois because of his commitment to his customers, and to his willing adoption of technologies and machinery that make the job faster and help his employees stay happy and safe. That's why Josh chose the Bandit 20XP Whole Tree Chipper to be his chipper of choice for large take down projects.
The 20XP is an entry level whole tree chipper and a great choice for those looking for a compact, yet rugged machine. Officially rated as a 20-inch capacity machine, this exceptionally versatile chipper actually features a large 26.25-inch by 24.5-inch throat opening to easily handle large whole trees. Bandit’s Slide Box Feed System has no problem pulling in and crushing the most stubborn forked limbs and dense hardwood.
Caterpillar, Cummins or John Deere engines are available ranging from 275 to 350 horsepower. A standard wireless radio remote control with tether back-up controls all chipper functions.
With an open top infeed hopper, the 20XP can easily be fed with a loader and the optional 5 1/2' infeed conveyor further assists with feeding material into the chipper drum. The standard 270 degree hydraulic swivel discharge allows for broadcasting chips or an optional forestry style discharge can be ordered for additional chip throwing velocity. A loader is also available as an option eliminating the need for an additional loader on site.
