The Bandit 1680XP Beast R Grinder is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes called a tub grinder or wood hog in the industry — offered here from Mississippi, USA. Horizontal grinders are heavy-duty processing machines designed to reduce wood waste, brush, logs, stumps, and similar organic material into chips, mulch, or biomass fuel. Bandit Industries is a well-established American manufacturer specialising in chippers, shredders, and grinders built for tree services, municipalities, land-clearing contractors, sawmills, and recycling operations. This 2025 machine is listed in used condition.
At the heart of the machine is a 36-inch diameter cuttermill fitted with 26 teeth. Rather than the impact-beating action common to many competing designs, the cuttermill cuts material apart, which contributes to a more consistent finished product and reduced wear under demanding conditions. A wide variety of tooth and screen configurations are available, and screen changes are straightforward — the single screen is removed directly from the side of the machine without the need to access the interior from above or below.
The infeed hopper measures 12 feet 9 inches long by 52 inches wide, providing ample room to load brush, whole trees, and large logs efficiently. A 16-inch diameter feed wheel draws material into the cuttermill. The mill opening itself measures 18 inches high by 52 inches wide, establishing the maximum size of material the machine can accept in a single pass.
Discharge is handled by a 26-foot 4-inch height-adjustable conveyor that delivers a stacking height of 14 feet 3 inches, giving operators meaningful reach when building material piles. Power comes from either a Caterpillar or John Deere engine rated at 321 or 300 horsepower respectively, depending on the configuration selected. The machine weighs approximately 31,500 pounds, a relatively compact footprint for a grinder in this class, making it practical for sites where mobility and tight positioning matter. All grinding functions are operated via wireless radio remote control, with a tether system retained as a backup.
