This 2013 Bandit 2680T Beast RE is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder or wood hog — offered from Virginia at $295,000. Horizontal grinders are heavy-duty size-reduction machines used to process wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, green waste, and other bulk organic material into mulch, biomass fuel, or compost feedstock. Bandit Industries is a well-established American manufacturer recognised for building a wide range of wood processing and grinding equipment serving the tree care, land clearing, forestry, and waste management industries.
The machine has accumulated 4,190 hours and is powered by a John Deere 575-horsepower Tier III engine, delivering the sustained output required for high-volume grinding operations. A reversing engine fan is fitted to help manage operating temperatures and clear debris from the cooling system, and drive engagement is handled by a PT Tech clutch, a component commonly specified for its smooth, controlled power transmission in demanding grinding applications.
The grinding system centres on a 42-inch by 63-inch cuttermill equipped with 60 teeth, providing a large cutting surface area suited to processing bulky and varied feedstock. The feed opening measures 35 inches by 60 inches with a stated 35-inch capacity, allowing the machine to accept substantial material without pre-processing. Undercarriage is provided by a Cat 320L running gear currently at approximately 60 percent remaining life, fitted with triple grousers for traction across soft or uneven ground.
Material handling is served by a 13-foot by 5-foot steel infeed conveyor and a 30-foot by 4-foot rubber discharge conveyor, supporting efficient material flow through the grinding cycle. The machine is operated via radio remote control with a tethered backup unit included, allowing the operator to maintain a safe distance during operation while retaining control if the wireless link is unavailable.
At 68,000 pounds operating weight, with an overall width of 9 feet 9 inches and a height of 12 feet 5 inches, this is a full-size production grinder suited to large-scale land clearing, recycling, and biomass processing contracts.
