12XPC Spec sheet

Auto Feed System, 67 HP Diesel wood chipper

The Intimidator™ 12XPC is a simplified version of the 12XP, yet still rugged enough to chip material up to 12" in diameter. The 12XPC features the same drum and feed system as the 12XP, but designed to be more compact and economical. Engine options are limited up to 84 horsepower and the unit features a lighter infeed, and a smaller axle and tires when compared to the 12XP.

The 12XPC is a popular machine for a variety of tree care professionals due to its weight and size. To keep this model simple and compact no hydraulic winch is offered on this unit. A Single 6,000 pound axle with 15" tires provides more than enough capacity for the approximate machine weight of 5,100 pounds.

Featuring Bandit's proven slide box feed system with dual feed wheels, this machine easily pulls and compresses material into the chipper. An optional hydraulic lift cylinder is recommended to further enhance down pressure as needed reducing chainsaw work and making the unit easier to feed. Sometimes referred to as a 12 chipper, 12 in tree grinder chipper or 12 wood chipper mulcher.

FAQ

When should I choose this 12-inch diesel wood chipper over smaller chippers or larger clearing machines?

This chipper is commonly used for: chipping storm damage branches; processing limbs from mature tree pruning; clearing residential fence lines and overgrown lots; reducing felled hardwood up to 10 inches into mulch; and feeding bushy brush piles without constant chainsaw trimming. Its 67 HP diesel engine and dual-wheel auto-feed system power through heavy branch forks and dense woods that choke smaller homeowner units. For light yard waste under 3 inches, a smaller gas chipper is lighter and easier to tow; for commercial whole-tree land clearing over 12 inches, a heavy-duty industrial chipper is recommended.

What vehicle and hitch equipment do I need to tow this wood chipper?

This chipper weighs approximately 5,200 lbs and requires an F-250 (3/4-ton) or larger tow vehicle equipped with an operational electric trailer brake controller. You will need a 2-5/16" hitch ball rated for the load. If your vehicle does not meet these towing and braking requirements, Gap Power can provide jobsite delivery.

What size material can this chipper handle, and what items must be avoided?

The machine has a maximum rated capacity of 12 inches, with a suggested working range of 2 to 10 inches for optimal efficiency. Never feed root balls with embedded dirt or rocks, dimensional lumber, old fence posts, or metal, as foreign debris will immediately dull or destroy the cutting knives.

How does the auto-feed system work to prevent stalling?

Bandit's slide-box feed system uses dual hydraulic feed wheels running at up to 100 ft/min to pull and compress bushy branches. If a heavy limb bogs down the 67 HP diesel engine, the auto-feed monitor momentarily pauses the feed wheels so engine RPM recovers before pulling resumed, preventing belt slippage and drum jams.

Can the discharge chute be adjusted to load chips directly into a truck or trailer?

Yes, the machine features a rotating discharge chute with an adjustable chip deflector. This allows you to broadcast chips evenly across a landscape bed or direct the stream straight into a high-sided dump truck or utility trailer for easy hauling.
