The Best Chipper For The Job – Maximize worksite productivity, while rendering minimal impact to the surrounding environment with Cal-Line’s selection of Bandit track-driven chippers. The track drive system offers certain advantages over towable models when tackling tough terrain, making it a favorite amongst professional tree care companies. Self-propelled and highly maneuverable, this unique drive system allows you to move to the trees, reducing the need to skid or haul materials. The track undercarriage provides increased stability during the chipping process by evenly dispersing the weight of the machine. This in-turn eliminates nearly any chance of overturning on uneven ground or slopes. A choice of rubber or steel tracks are available for certain models, with both options specially designed to reduce your worksite footprint by producing minimal ground impact.
