This 2023 Morbark 3000XT is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes called a tub grinder's open-feed counterpart or simply a wood hog — designed to reduce large volumes of wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, and organic material into uniform mulch, biomass fuel, or compost feedstock. Morbark is a well-established American manufacturer with decades of experience building industrial wood processing and forestry equipment, and their horizontal grinders are widely used by land-clearing contractors, waste processors, municipalities, and biomass producers.
The infeed opening measures 57.5 inches wide by 38 inches tall, providing a generous throat capable of accepting large-diameter logs, brush bundles, and bulky construction debris without pre-processing. The screen area totals 3,785 square inches, which directly governs throughput capacity and finished particle sizing — a larger screen area allows material to exit the grinding chamber more freely, sustaining high production rates.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C13B engine rated at 577 horsepower in Tier 4 Final configuration, delivering the sustained torque necessary for demanding grinding applications while meeting current emissions requirements. The machine is accompanied by a CAT 320 excavator fitted with 500mm triple grouser tracks, which serves as the dedicated loading unit for feeding material into the infeed hopper — an important practical inclusion that adds immediate operational capability.
A reversing fan is also fitted, allowing the operator to clear debris accumulation from the cooling system with the push of a button, reducing downtime and maintenance burden during high-dust grinding operations. This machine is located in Pennsylvania, USA, and is listed at $560,000.
