@@CalTreeEquip it’s still going strong. That chipper eats 14” trunks , granted not all day long. You may recall that the fellow who traded it in was complaining that it overheated and that was a problem for me - the heart of that problem was it needed new radiator fins and new inner cooler fins, which was a “recore” deal and pricey - however such is equipment. There has been a fair amount of patches put on the wear spots from chip abuse and angel grinding on the interior. For a season we had bad clogging issues but that was due to a poor patch at the transition zone on the chute. Basically I’ve enjoyed the chipper the majority of the time. As you know little wet leaves are trouble….We added metal to the outside of the throw scoop paddles so that there is very little lost fan propulsion and that made it throw better. Other companies have had some envy over my machine. So, it’ not ugly or pretty it’s just a workhorse. We’ve tried to take care of it and fix the problems, and I have made good money with it. The starter was replaced recently, but it may have been original. I think it’s a 2010 machine ? I really agonized in research and prayer to come to that machine and i don’t regret it. As much as I’d like shiny new drum chipper the 250 keeps getting it done. Winch line is a complete essential now. Take Care!
@@dano7189 Good to hear its all good. Ya the weak link on those 3054T's is the radiator. The fins are just too small and clog easily. Re-coring them with wider fins is the trick and keeping them really clean. Found the original video. ua-cam.com/video/hRXFBZRj0uI/v-deo.htmlsi=lOBkj6YtdTxIgi20
Well in that case follow this youtube page. Then you'll get a notice everytime I post something new and everytime a finish a chipper I post it here before I even post it on my website.
I just did my 250. Very complete job except removing the hoses. Wondering how long it takes you to do this job? It took forever on mine the engine cover had the thickest hardest paint I have ever removed.
This the best how to paint a chipper video ever. Great work, Matt. I trust it will come back to you. I bought a chipper from you 7 or so years ago.
Hi Dan. You bought a 2005 Bandit 250 with a winch? How'd that chipper workout for you? Good to hear from you.

@@CalTreeEquip that’s fun to see. She was in her 30s there. Now she’s lookn at her late 40s just like me😂
Looks great !!
Great job! Hopefully by next year I can afford a newer chipper I’ll be hitting you up!

@@CalTreeEquip will do
@@CalTreeEquip do you do trade in’s?
I got a 2012 Morbark 2070xl 2400 hours on it I’m looking to get rid of for something bigger with auto feed
@@ertreeservice9558 I would need to see pics and a full description of what you have. Email that to me and I'll have a look. matt@bauertree.com

It takes some time for sure. I don't really keep track of how much time though. We break the chipper down and send it off to the paint shop.
