This Bandit 1425TK is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder or wood hog — a machine designed to reduce wood waste, brush, stumps, land-clearing debris, and organic material into chips, mulch, or finely ground product. Bandit Industries is a well-regarded American manufacturer of chippers, shredders, and grinders, supplying equipment to arborists, land-clearing contractors, recycling operations, and forestry professionals worldwide.
The machine is track-mounted, giving it the mobility to reposition across uneven or soft ground without the need for a separate transport vehicle on site. It accepts material up to 14 inches in maximum diameter and processes it through a 36-inch-diameter by 25-inch-wide cuttermill equipped with 14 teeth, a configuration designed to deliver consistent throughput across a range of woody material types.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C3.4B turbocharged diesel engine rated at 174 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, reflecting compliance with current off-road engine regulations. A 40-gallon fuel tank supports extended operation between refills, and a separate 40-gallon hydraulic tank serves the machine's track and feed systems.
Overall dimensions are 297 inches in length, 101.25 inches in width, and 115 inches in height, with an approximate operating weight of 14,500 pounds. The discharge conveyor stacks material to an approximate height of 7 feet, allowing ground-level collection or direct loading into trucks or trailers.
The listing notes three optional items: a radio remote control for hands-off operation from a safe distance, a mulch coloring system for producing dyed decorative ground cover, and a magnetic head pulley on the discharge conveyor for separating ferrous metal from the processed material. This machine is located in California, USA and was manufactured in 2022.
