The 2590 is a 22" diameter capacity, drum-style whole tree chipper with engine options available up to 440 hp. The large chipper opening, which measures 26 1/4" x 30", the powerful feed system and the 440 hp engine option allows this unit to produce as much as 55 tons of chips per hour and is capable of filling a 45 foot chip van in under 30 minutes. The 2590 is our most popular whole tree chipper. It is especially popular with the loggers producing a fuel wood chip for the biomass energy markets from logging slash, whole trees, tops and chuck wood. Land clearers also find the Model 2590 a very desirable machine.

A fixed rear discharge system with a hydraulic side-to-side, and up-and-down discharge deflector as standard. The efficient throwing mechanism within the chipper along with the rear discharge fully compact large chip vans, which reduces transportation costs and increases production.

A 10 foot long conveyor comes standard on the model 2590. Short logs and large piles of brush or tops are easily fed into the chipper. A large 27 inch diameter x 36 inch wide top feed wheel, and a 10 5/8 inch diameter x 36 inch wide bottom feed wheel provides maximum pulling and compressing power for feeding large diameter whole trees. Dual rear hydraulic stabilizers provide the stability needed when loading heavier material onto the conveyor.

A large 37 inch diameter x 30 inch wide drum can be equipped with bolt-in or babbited knives. Babbited knives can be set for different chip dimensions, allowing the end product to vary per specification or application. Babbited knives also have more consistent heat treating and will chip longer before they need to be sharpened.

The model 2590 can also be equipped as a self-propelled unit, with or without cab and loader. The track unit eliminates the need to forward or skid material to the chipper, reducing operating costs. These units are extemely versatile when it comes to right-a-way clearing applications.

Loader Options

As with all Bandit whole tree chippers, the model 2590 can be equipped with a cab and loader. The loader can be equipped with either hydraulic or electronic joystick controls. The heavy duty back style loader has a reach of 195" without conveyor and 154" with conveyor and a swing of 45 degree curbside and 85 degree roadside and is equipped with a 45/38 rotobec continuous rotation grapple. The roomy cab features 3/8" thick lexan windows, deluxe swivel seat with either hydraulic or electronic joystick controls built into the armset, a cab fan, auto feed tach, exterior working lights, fuel sight gauge and a GEM software monitoring system along with a ceiling mounted air conditioning/heating unit.
