This CBI Magnum Force 5 Grinder is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder or wood hog — a class of heavy-duty machine used to reduce bulk organic material such as logs, brush, land-clearing debris, and green waste into chips, mulch, or biomass fuel. CBI, Continental Biomass Industries, is a well-regarded American manufacturer specialising in industrial wood processing and recycling equipment, serving forestry, land-clearing, composting, and biomass energy industries.
This 2022 machine is powered by a Caterpillar C18 engine producing 765 horsepower (570 kW), providing substantial throughput capacity for demanding production environments. The rotor measures 48 inches wide and 40 inches in diameter, with a 6-inch shaft, giving the machine a large grinding surface suited to high-volume material reduction.
A defining feature of this grinder is its design around real-world transport practicalities. Its transport dimensions are 8 feet 4 inches wide, 38 feet 11 inches long, and 12 feet tall (2.54 m × 11.86 m × 3.65 m), keeping it within common permitting and load restriction thresholds that cause operational delays for contractors moving equipment between job sites. Once deployed, the machine opens to working dimensions of 8 feet 4 inches wide, 48 feet 6 inches long, and 15 feet 4 inches tall (2.54 m × 14.77 m × 4.67 m).
Weight ranges from 69,000 to 73,000 pounds (approximately 31,297 to 33,112 kg) depending on fitted options, which is a relevant consideration for transport planning and site surface requirements. The machine is located in California, USA, and is listed at $595,000.
