Bandit Industries, Remus, Michigan, says its new Model 1425 track is a highly productive and compact horizontal grinder. Equipped with many of the same features as the tow-behind version and by adding tracks, the company boasts it can substantially increase the capabilities of this unit.
“Since introducing the 1425 Track at the TCIA show in 2018, many customers have asked for a track version” says Bandit Marketing Manager Jason Morey. By making it available with tracks, it can now travel over a variety of landscapes with the Caterpillar steel track undercarriage.
The Model 1425 track is equipped with a 7-foot by 24-inch steel or rubber belt infeed conveyor and a stationary discharge with a stacking height of 7 feet. To further enhance the machines capabilities, Bandit says 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 what Bandit describes as an aggressive, yet smooth grinding action. In addition, the chipper drum features four chipper knives that will produce a chip ranging from 1/4 inch all the way up to 1 inch.
Similar to the company’s larger horizontal grinders, the 1425 track is also offered with a variety of tooth and screen options.
“We have one engine option available on this model,” Morey says. “Customers can now order this machine with a Caterpillar C4.4, 174 horsepower Tier 4 final.”
