Bandit Industries, Remus, Mich., has introduced its Model 3090 Track whole tree chipper, a self-propelled version of the Model 3090 drum-style whole tree chipper, which the company says makes high production chipping easier.
“The 3090 is already an extremely capable machine,” says Bandit Industries Marketing Manager Jason Morey. “Adding a self-propelled option extends this capability to remote, difficult-to-reach terrain where towable chippers can’t go.”
To make the 3090 a mobile chipper, Bandit Industries utilizes a Caterpillar 325EL undercarriage outfitted with either 700- or 800-millimeter wide pads. Fully optioned with a cab and loader, the footprint for the Model 3090 Track is slightly more than 11 pounds per square inch.
“Everyone knows how well track chippers perform in soft ground or steep terrain,” says Morey. “In cases like these, a track chipper is usually the only viable option, and having something with the proven reliability and production power of the 3090 can pay dividends when the going gets tough.”
The Model 3090 Track shares the same heavy-duty construction of Bandit’s larger 3590 chipper. It utilizes a 37-inch diameter drum with a 30-by-36-inch opening and features a unique four-wheel, diagonal feed system consisting of two 36-inch top-feed wheels set on an angle. These wheels are mounted in a slide box and move up or down with the flow and diameter of material passing through the feed system. Two vertical side-feed wheels surround the standard 30-inch infeed, contributing to the 3090 Track’s impressive pulling and compressing capability.
Power options include Caterpillar, Cummins or John Deere diesel engines, ranging from 535 to 630 horsepower. The 3090 Track can accept material up to 24 inches in diameter and, combined with a stationary high-flow discharge system, it can produce as much as 80 tons of chips per hour.
Bandit offers the Model 3090 Track with an optional built-in loader and cab, featuring hydraulic or electronic joystick controls. The back-style loader has a reach of 232 inches without conveyor (191 inches with conveyor), a curbside swing of 50 degrees and a roadside swing of 85 degrees. It’s equipped with a 45/35 Rotobec continuous rotation grapple and is capable of lifting up to 7,200 pounds. A wireless remote control option is also available, allowing a single operator to remotely manage the 3090’s functions and movement.
