This Bandit 4680XP Beast R Grinder is a horizontal grinder — sometimes called a tub grinder's larger cousin or, more broadly, a wood hog — a heavy-duty machine built to reduce large volumes of wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, and organic material into uniform-sized chips or mulch. Bandit Industries is a well-established American manufacturer based in Michigan, long recognised for producing some of the most capable chippers, stump grinders, and horizontal grinders in the forestry, land-clearing, recycling, and biomass industries.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3412 diesel engine rated at 1,000 horsepower, providing the sustained output required for high-throughput grinding operations. The machine is capable of producing up to 800 cubic yards of mulch per hour, making it well suited to large-scale commercial and industrial grinding applications.
The feed system centres on a 30-inch diameter feed wheel operated via remote control, drawing material into a 45-inch tall by 60-inch wide opening — a 45-inch nominal capacity — through an infeed conveyor measuring 17 feet 10 inches long by 5 feet wide. The cuttermill is 63 inches wide and carries 48 teeth, delivering broad, aggressive grinding across the full width of the material stream.
Ground material is handled by both primary and secondary discharge conveyors. The secondary conveyor measures 25 feet 6 inches long by 56 inches wide and achieves a stacking height of 18 feet, allowing efficient pile management and truck-loading without frequent repositioning.
The machine is mounted on four 25,000-pound axles — 100,000 pounds of rated axle capacity in total — fitted with sixteen 11R/22.5, 16-ply tires on 10-bolt hub-pilot dual rims, and equipped with a standard fifth-wheel hitch for transport. Overall dimensions are 52 feet long by 11 feet 7 inches wide by 13 feet 6 inches tall, with a operating weight of 92,000 pounds. The machine shows only 2,000 hours, has been operated in a single woodyard under one owner, and is described as being in very good operating condition with a history of careful maintenance. It is available FOB Michigan, USA.
