The Model 3090 Track is a self-propelled version of the popular Model 3090 drum-style whole-tree chipper. To make the 3090 a mobile chipper, Bandit Industries utilizes a Caterpillar 325EL undercarriage outfitted with either 700- or 800-millimeter-wide pads. Fully optioned with a cab and loader, the footprint for the Model 3090 Track is just over 11 pounds per square inch. It uses a 37-inch-diameter drum with a 30- by 36-inch opening, and features a four-wheel, diagonal feed system consisting of two, 36-inch top-feed wheels set on an angle. Power options include Caterpillar, Cummins or John Deere diesel engines, ranging from 535 to 630 hp. The 3090 Track can accept material up to 24 inches in diameter, and combined with a stationary high-flow discharge system, it can produce as much as 80 tons of chips per hour.
