NEWS & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 3


Scotsturf gets the thumbs up


Three newcomers at BTME Bandit Industries, Inc.


introduced a new 12” drum chipper at the Tree Care Industry Expo in Baltimore. The Bandit Model 990XP is a compact 12” diameter capacity drum chipper specifically designed for municipalities, rental companies and tree services looking for a high-performance lightweight chipper. The feed system and components on the 990XP are comparable to the popular Model 1090XP, but with a smaller 24” diameter drum, a unique discharge transition, and a compact design. Engine options are available from


most major engine suppliers up to 86-horsepower. To keep this unit compact


and to streamline production, the 990XP will be limited in options. The 12” diameter Bandit 1090XP is still available, but with a wider availability of options, including engine options up to 142- horsepower. The Model 990XP is available


for pre-order and will be made available after the first of the year.

Shoddy work


on the increase Landscaping expert Mitch


Westwood has said the amount of poor landscaping work he has seen has increased in the past five years and the recession is making the situation worse.


He commented "The risks


are that people will have a duff job done. A good or bad job may look almost the same until a couple of months later, particularly with hard landscaping when the sub-base goes.”
