stump grinder

In any industrial job, you need the right equipment. A stump grinder is an excellent addition. Whatever job you want to do, stump grinders are a great way to increase your productivity and efficiency. So, what are the advantages of using a stump grinder in your industry? How do they improve your efficiency and productivity? Let’s take a look at this.

Learn the intuitive controls

A Bandit stump grinder has simple, intuitive controls that are easy to pick up. Nonetheless, though, it’s always a good idea to look over your equipment’s manual to see how to use your stump grinder in the best way. We’ll always provide you with the training, manuals, and any other expertise you need to excel at using your Bandit stump grinder.

Use the heavy-duty drive system

Bandit stump grinders can deal with even the most difficult terrain, meaning they’re suitable for all sorts of applications. Except for the SG-40, Bandit have fitted heavy-duty individual drive motors on every grinder, which gives you the power to fly up hills and through even the muddiest conditions. Every motor has a braking system that holds the grinder in place during grinding. These motors help your stump grinder traverse chip piles, for less repositioning and tire spin, which means maximum productivity and production.

Use the super sweep feature

Bandit stump grinders have an optional super sweep feature, where the grinder automatically backs the cutter wheel away when the engine reaches a preset low RPM. This prevents an unseasoned grinder from taking too big of a cut and stalling the grinder’s engine. The stump grinder’s cutter wheel will continue when the engine has recovered its RPM. Super sweep gives the wheel a smooth swing through the stump,  so an operator can just keep on working.

Use operator visibility

Bandit have designed their stump grinders to give the operator a full view of the stump they’re grinding, letting you be more productive while also minimising the chance of you colliding with any debris or other unforeseen obstacles. Whether it’s the SG-40’s 3-position operator’s console, the 2550’s control valves mounted on the side, the swing-out operator’s console on the 2650, 2890, and 3100, or the Radio Remote control present on many of the other Bandit stump grinders, all the Bandit stump grinders offer you good operator visibility to safely see each part of the stump as you grind, for safety and speed.

Choose the right grinder for the job

All the Bandit stump grinders have a great range of features, from the different operator controls that give you visibility, to the drive system that lets you deal with anything, and the intuitive controls that let you work with ease. But not all Bandit grinders are built exactly alike. Bandit has developed stump grinders in a range of sizes, with a range of different features. The SG-40 and 3100 are belt-driven, for example, with easy procedures for belt adjustment. Other hydraulic models, as well as the gearbox-driven SG-75 have no belts, bearing or jackshafts for you to maintain. We have track stump grinders, light and portable stump grinders, stump grinders with accessories, and just about any stump grinder you could want.

As always, any Bandit model you choose is engineered to give maximum cutting power with next to no downtime and maintenance.

Use the right accessories

Bandit have a range of accessories and optional extras to help you with your job. An optional hydraulic grading blade, for example, will help you greatly reduce the time it takes to clean up wood chips after you grind a stump. This faster cleanup time can have a big impact on your productivity, since the grinder operator is now free to move onto the next worksite or tree stump in much less time.

Another important accessory Bandit adds to all their stump grinders is their heavy-duty high-flotation tires. All the wheeled stump grinders have these heavy-duty tires, for maximum stability and flotation. These high-floation tires help you limit yard damage, and give better performance in wet ground conditions, or on uneven terrain. Stump grinders with tracks also minimise terrain damage and work well in wet or soft conditions thanks to their turf-friendly rubber tracks.

Then there are the different cutter wheel style options, designed to meet different soil conditions and user preferences. The first is the New Revolution wheel, which features hex teeth. Then there’s the Bandit wheel, which has Greenteeth.
