This 2004 Bandit 4680 Beast REC is a horizontal grinder — sometimes called a tub grinder or wood hog — a heavy-duty machine designed to reduce bulk organic material such as logs, stumps, land-clearing debris, and construction waste into chips, mulch, or biomass fuel. Bandit Industries is a well-established American manufacturer of chippers, grinders, and stump cutters, supplying equipment to arborists, logging operations, land-clearing contractors, recycling facilities, and municipal waste processors.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3412E diesel engine, a large-displacement industrial powerplant well regarded for sustained high-torque output in demanding grinding applications. The ECM reads 532 hours, indicating relatively light use for a machine of this class.
The grinder is configured with a 2-inch diamond mill and a 60-tooth cutter mill, offering flexibility depending on the material being processed and the desired output size. New mill bearings have been installed, and the drive belts have also been replaced, meaning the core drivetrain components are in fresh condition. A magnetic belt driver is fitted to pull ferrous contaminants from the processed material on the discharge conveyor, an important feature when grinding mixed or construction-grade debris.
The machine is towable and includes an adjustable rear loading ramp for feeding material, as well as a remote control unit for operating the grinder from a safe working distance. The seller confirms that it runs and grinds as it should. It is currently located in Iowa, USA, and is offered at $199,900.
