The field proven technology of Bandit Band Wagon liquid fertilizer wagons makes liquid fertilizer application practical and affordable for maximum input efficiency. High flotation radial tires minimize soil compaction and make the Bandit easier to pull. The Polywest designed ground drive continues to lead the industry in field reliability and durability. The addition of the Bandit BDX3400-11110 to our line results in a system that is completely re-engineered to effortlessly stand up to the rigours of farming while simultaneously sticking with the innovative features that have made the Bandit a stalwart in the industry for decades.

- Twin 1700 US Gallon cone bottom tanks;
- Hypro 9303C hydraulic centrifugal application pump;
- Honda GX200 powered 3′ Banjo pump with wet seal;
- Electronic bypass valve;
- Completely re-designed frame with corrosion resistant paint;
- Rear tires: 30.5-32; Front tires 28L-26;
- LED lightning and work light with grommet style mounting.
BANDIT 3400 PRODUCT FEATURES
LESS COMPACTION
With 22% less compaction than previous Bandit models, the redesigned chassis and precise weight distribution of the Bandit 3400 results in equal compaction between the larger rear and smaller front tires. By moving the centre of gravity towards the rear of the wagon the need for large rubber on the front is eliminated.
FULL DRAINAGE
The days of hauling a vertical tank not designed for transport are over! By utilizing a low profile, total drain leg tank we have reduced the risk of liquid movement while travelling, reduced wear and tear on the pulling mechanism, increased ground clearance, improved the weight distribution and allowed for easier access to the top of the tank. Finally there is a liquid fertilizer on the wagon with a tank built for transportation.
PRODUCT FLEXIBILITY
The addition of a secondary, custom fit 500 US gallon tank not only increases the total potential capacity of the 3400 to 3,710 US gallon, but it also gives the flexibility to accommodate simultaneous fertilizer and micronutrient application. When this option is selected the products can be applied at different rates using a single pump and drive system.
MULTIPLE GROUND DRIVEN PUMPS
Bandits are engineered to use CDS-John Blue’s proven metering pump available in many configurations: cast iron or stainless models, single or twin piston, one product or two product models.
GROUND DRIVE PUMPING SYSTEM
Polywest developed the first ground drive system that could be disengaged for transport without having to use a clutch or remove chains. When in the field, the spring loaded tensioning system removes the need to manually adjust jackshaft position and ensures that drive sprockets are fully engaged at all times. All chains are high quality roller chains with O-ring seals to extend life and minimize maintenance requirements. A wide variety of sprocket sizes can be fitted to the system ensuring that the CDS-John Blue metering pump is driven at the speeds needed to achieve any application rate.
ACCURATE & EASY HEADLAND CONTROL
Electronic three-way valves achieve headland control with a 0.6 second response time all the while eliminating the undue stress on ground drive systems inherent to clutch systems. One product and two product systems are easily operated in cab with a supplied switch or they can be quickly wired into any rate control system or work switch for even easier operation. Our bypass headland control system will save time, money, and downtime while giving you the peace of mind that your application rate is not being affected by slipping clutches
SMALL DETAILS THAT COUNT
LED lighting and reflector safety packages should not be an option. When you purchase a Bandit from Polywest you can be confident that you are visible and legal when transporting on roads and highways.
SAFETY IS A PRIORITY
The Polywest ChemWash provides 25 litres of fresh water for emergency rinsing. This package includes hoses, fittings, a cradle and a compartment for goggles, gloves and other safety related equipment. A ChemWash is standard on each Bandit.
