Frequently Asked Questions
FMI Equipment FAQ's
The equipment, machines and vehicles we sell have many build variations, and displaying a single retail price may be misleading. Additionally, most often the MSRP is not a true "out the door price" when you consider financing vs cash pay, dealer incentives, rebates or promotions. We prefer the opportunity to understand your equipment needs so that we quote you the best price possible.

Many arborists often wonder what is the best chipper for their crews needs. That question honestly comes down to the type of trees they are likely to encounter. Factors you should think about when picking your next brush or whole tree chipper:
Inch Capacity - What is the largest diameter tree you plan to run through your chipper? Make sure you have enough capacity to handle whatever your customers throw at you.Horsepower and Torque - More is sometimes better. Higher horsepower and torque motors may not be as fuel efficient but can help your chipper get up to speed and working better faster.
Weight - What is the towing capability of your rig? Make sure the weight of the chipper is within the towing range of your truck.
Terrain - Tracks or Tires, that is the question! Most Bandit chippers can be outfitted with either tires, to be towable, or self-powered tracks for those hard to reach rougher terrain areas. Most residential jobs can be handled with towable machines. However some crews may work in heavily forested and non-paved job sites, here you'll find that self-powered tracks may be what you're looking for.
There are a lot of options and our team of experienced and trained chipper experts are here to help you find the right equipment for your needs. FMI Equipment is here to get you "Geared for Success", give us a call if you're ever in need of a few answers to your chipper questions!
