Bandit Whole Tree Chippers — Proven Productivity for East Tennessee
Since 1988, Bandit has set the standard for whole tree chippers—offering drum-style and disc-style machines with capacities from 20" to 36". Built for logging, land clearing, utility right-of-way, and biomass, Bandit chippers deliver high production, fuel efficiency, and uniform chips that meet the needs of mills, fuel producers, and mulch operations across East Tennessee.
Why East Tennessee Contractors Choose Bandit Whole Tree Chippers
- Drum & Disc Options: Choose drum-style for fibrous materials and full tree tops, or disc-style (Trelan by Bandit) for fuel-efficient chipping on larger diameters and premium chip quality.
- High Throughput: Heavy-duty designs can fill a full-length chip van fast—ideal for tight production windows on right-of-way and logging jobs in the Smokies, Cumberland Plateau, and beyond.
- Uniform Chip Quality: Optional microchip drums and chip screen/card breaker systems deliver consistent sizing for fuel chips and pulp.
- Aggressive Feed Systems: The Slide Box Feed System and powerful hydraulic feed wheels pull, crush, and compress large material—often reducing loader cycles on site.
- Fuel Efficiency: Disc-style models chip at an angle to the grain—requiring less horsepower and fuel while producing high-quality, uniform chips.
- Operator-Friendly Controls: Wireless remote manages all machine functions, including optional loader and track systems, for safe, efficient operation.
- Built to Last: Backed by Bandit’s industry-leading 5-year / 3,000-hour “GUTS” warranty on Bandit-manufactured feed and disc/drum components.
Applications Across East Tennessee
- Logging & Timber Operations: Produce uniform chips for mills and fuel markets while handling tops, limbs, and full trees in Knoxville, Crossville, and McMinnville.
- Land Clearing & Site Development: High-production chipping for commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects in Chattanooga, Sevierville, and the Tri-Cities.
- Utility Right of Way (ROW) Maintenance: Keep corridors clear and convert waste to valuable chips for local utilities and municipalities.
- Storm Debris & Disaster Response: Rapid mobilization for tornado, hurricane, and flood cleanups with high chip-throwing power throughout East Tennessee.

Drum-Style Chippers (Bandit)
- Optimized for Fibrous Material: Closely coupled feed systems and large throat openings pull in tree tops, limbs, and tough, fibrous feedstocks.
- Production Power: Large, heavy-duty drums and efficient designs—some models can fill a chip van in under 10 minutes.
- Uniform Chips: Add microchip drums and chip screen/card breaker systems for tight spec chips used in fuel applications.
- Representative Models: 20XP (compact), 2090 / 2290 (versatile), 2590 (high production), 3590 / 3590XL (ultimate high capacity).
- Configurations: Towable or track-mounted, with options for integrated loaders and operator cabs.
Disc-Style Chippers (Trelan by Bandit)
- Fuel-Efficient Chipping: Angled cut works like a whittling action, requiring less horsepower and fuel for larger diameter material.
- Premium Chip Output: Consistent, high-quality chips preferred for paper production.
- High Chip-Throwing Power: Chips discharge at high velocity, compacting trailers without a power-robbing auxiliary accelerator.
- Representative Models: 686-WRC Extreme (mid-size) and 786-WRC Extreme (largest).
- Configurations: Towable or track-mounted, with loader and cab options, plus wireless remote control of all functions.
