Bandit introduces a tracked horizontal grinder

Bandit Industries’ new Model 1425 track is a highly productive and compact horizontal grinder. It is equipped with many of the same features as the tow-behind version and by adding tracks it substantially increases the capabilities of this unit. Source: Timberbiz

“Since introducing the 1425 Track at the TCIA show in 2018 many customers have asked for a track version” said Bandit Marketing Manager Jason Morey.

By making it available with tracks, it can now travel over a variety of landscapes with the durable Caterpillar steel track undercarriage.

The Model 1425 track is equipped with a 7’ long x 24” wide steel or rubber belt infeed conveyor and a stationary discharge with a stacking height of 7’.

To enhance the machines capabilities, a grinder head or chipper drum can be ordered, giving it the ability to produce mulch or a dimensional chip. When ordered with a grinder head, there are 14 cutter bodies with teeth, creating an aggressive, yet smooth grinding action.

While the chipper drum features four chipper knives that will produce a chip ranging from ¼” all the way up to 1”. Like the larger horizontal grinders, the 1425 track is offered with a variety of tooth and screen options.

“We have one engine option available on this model,” Mr Morey said. “Customers can now order this machine with a Caterpillar C4.4, 174 horsepower Tier 4 final.”
