This Peterson Pacific 5710D is a horizontal grinder — also commonly referred to as a tub grinder's counterpart, though in the industry the horizontal configuration is widely known simply as a horizontal grinder or wood hog — a heavy-duty machine designed to reduce wood waste, land-clearing debris, yard waste, and similar organic material into chips, mulch, or biomass fuel. Peterson Pacific is a well-established American manufacturer specialising in high-production grinding, chipping, and delimbing equipment, with its horizontal grinders widely used in forestry, land clearing, green waste processing, and biomass production.
This 2020 model is offered in used condition from Virginia and presents 4,072 total hours on the machine. Notably, a Caterpillar Premier Warranty remains in effect until 5 October 2025 or 5,000 hours, whichever comes first, providing a meaningful level of protection for the next owner. Power is supplied by a Cat C27 engine rated at 1,050 horsepower, which has been serviced in accordance with Caterpillar specifications.
At approximately 3,200 hours, a comprehensive set of repairs and refurbishments was carried out: the floor and feed chains were replaced, as were the main bearings on the mill. The mill itself was hardfaced and balanced — a process that restores wear surfaces and ensures smooth, efficient operation — and the teeth on the feed roller were also replaced at the same time. These are the high-wear components that are central to a horizontal grinder's productivity, and having them addressed at that interval means the machine has significant refurbished life remaining in its core assemblies.
