Bandit Industries Expands Line of Self-Propelled Whole Tree Chippers

Bandit Industries Inc., a manufacturer of equipment for the logging, tree service, biomass and wood waste recycling industries headquartered in Remus, Mich., is now offering three drum-style whole tree chippers to compliment its three disc-style track chippers already in production. Each chipper offers several factory options, or they can be custom built to suit a customer’s needs.
