Rayco

Rayco's RC 12 brush chipper is designed to deliver the power, performance and features typically seen on larger machines. The 86-hp Cat diesel engine and Rayco's PULSE down pressure system ensure top performance on any type of material. Features such as a self-adjusting hydraulic clutch, planetary feed wheel motor, few grease points and a large service door over the engine help keep maintenance costs and downtime to a minimum. At more than 6,000 pounds, the heavy-duty, drum-style chipper is built to withstand harsh jobsite conditions.

Bobcat

Bobcat's 8B high-flow chipper attachment is designed for optimal performance when grinding through branches, trees and limbs. The attachment reduces branch volume 10 to 1, limiting trips to the dumpsite and improving wood decomposition. The chipper also has several new features, including a variable gpm setting, a reset override system and a smart valve and pressure valve to maximize performance. Unlike pull-type chippers, the 8B can be placed in backyards and remote areas because of the size and maneuverability of a Bobcat loader or utility work machine.

Bandit Industries

Bandit Industries' new stump grinder Model HB20 SideWinder offers a pivot-action base, allowing the operator to keep the wheelbase stationary while using a smooth gliding motion back and forth to grind stumps. The user can position the HB20 in close proximity to the stump, release the pivot pin, and swing the handlebars from side to side. Traditional handlebar units require additional effort from the operator to reposition the entire machine, including the undercarriage, especially on uneven terrain. The HB20 is available with a 20-hp Kohler gas engine and a 19-inch cutterhead with 24 teeth. Compact and maneuverable, the handlebar unit can grind isolated stumps in hard-to-reach locations.
