This Peterson Pacific 2710D is a tracked horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder's linear counterpart, or simply a wood hog — designed to reduce bulk organic material such as logs, brush, stumps, and green waste into uniform chips or mulch. Peterson Pacific is a well-established American manufacturer specialising in high-capacity size-reduction equipment, including horizontal grinders, tub grinders, and chippers, serving the land-clearing, forestry, composting, biomass, and recycling industries.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C18 diesel engine producing 765 horsepower, providing the sustained torque necessary for continuous, high-volume grinding operations. The machine's tracked undercarriage is fitted with 18-inch double grouser pads, and the undercarriage is reported to be in 90 percent condition, indicating substantial remaining service life. Track-mounted mobility allows the grinder to be repositioned across uneven terrain without the need for a separate carrier.
Material is loaded through a 60-inch by 32-inch feed opening into a 4-foot 10-inch wide feed conveyor equipped with four feed chains, offering a wide and aggressive in-feed path capable of accepting large-diameter material. The discharge conveyor is fitted with a metal pulley. Operator control is handled via a wireless remote system, with a 25-foot tether cord also included as a backup or alternative means of operation.
The grinder has been documented producing 87.5 tons per hour processing green waste, giving prospective buyers a concrete benchmark for throughput planning. The seller reports the machine has had a single owner and has seen limited use in light wood waste applications, suggesting low accumulated wear relative to a machine of this capacity. It is described as ready to work and is offered FOB Arizona.
The asking price is $495,000, and the machine is listed from Illinois, USA.
