This Peterson Pacific 5710D is a horizontal grinder — sometimes called a tub grinder's open-feed counterpart or, more commonly in the industry, a wood hog — a machine designed to reduce bulk wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, and organic material into uniform chips or mulch through a high-speed hammermill. Peterson Pacific is a well-regarded American manufacturer known for building heavy-duty horizontal grinders and chippers that serve the land-clearing, forestry, recycling, and biomass industries.
This 2021 machine is offered in used, work-ready condition following a recent shop service, and is located in Virginia, priced at $600,000. It is powered by a Caterpillar C27 engine rated at 1,050 horsepower, which has been serviced in accordance with Caterpillar specifications. The machine has accumulated 4,079 total hours and carries a Caterpillar Premier Warranty that remains valid until August 19, 2026, or until the unit reaches 5,000 hours — whichever comes first — providing meaningful remaining coverage for a prospective buyer.
At approximately 3,200 hours, the machine underwent a significant round of preventive and corrective maintenance: the floor, feed chains, and main mill bearings were all replaced. The mill was additionally hardfaced and balanced, and the teeth on the feed roller were replaced. Hardfacing is a welding process applied to high-wear surfaces to extend their service life, and balancing the mill reduces vibration and bearing load during operation. These repairs indicate the machine has been properly maintained through its highest-wear components and is described by the seller as work-ready following its most recent shop inspection.
