Intimidator 18XP & 19XPC

Bandit chippers have come a long way since their humble beginnings in 1983. The very first product, the Model 100 Brush Bandit, was built in a converted repair shop staffed by six employees. Nearly four decades later, the Bandit team of more than 400 produces chippers — plus stump grinders, horizontal grinders, track carriers and skid steer attachments — for tree care companies, land clearing operations and municipalities worldwide from a 280,000-square-foot manufacturing space in Remus, Michigan.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

  • Today, the successful chipper and grinder company offers a wide rage of chippers.  One of the most popular hand-fed chippers, the Intimidator™ 18XP, is an 18-inch-capacity, drum-style model powered by the Cat® C4.4 engine. Like all Bandit hand-fed chippers, it features the unique Slide Box Feed System that provides direct down pressure to pull in, crush and compress branches and trees with little or no trim work required.
  • The 18XP’s big brother, the Intimidator 19XPC, offers a step up for tree services that need more capacity in an easy-to-maneuver design. Available with the Cat C4.4 or C7.1 engine, the 19-inch-capacity 19XPC has a larger-diameter top-feed wheel and a bottom-feed wheel roller that generates more than 10,000 pounds of pulling power, making it easier to pull in larger material — even whole trees — to reduce trimming time and costs.  
  • Both chippers are mobile, so they’re easily towed from site to site by a truck. And because weight matters when it comes to maneuverability and keeping the cost of registration down, the lightweight C4.4 and C7.1 are ideal for the job. 
  • Another advantage of the C4.4 and C7.1 is their industry-leading torque. The longer a chipper’s engine operates at peak torque, the longer a user can process trees or branches without slowing or reversing the feed, which is critical in an industry where every customer’s number-one priority is minimal downtime.
  • Customers want their Bandit macihnes to run every time they turn them on, so they recognizes the importance of having support ready for the engines that power those machines.  Knowing there’s a Cat dealer nearby to take care of any issues quickly gives chipper operators even more confidence in Bandit products.
