About this machine
This Portec 1042 is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder or wood hog — a heavy-duty machine designed to reduce large volumes of wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, and organic material into uniform chips, mulch, or biomass fuel. Portec is a well-established name in the material processing and bulk handling equipment sector, and their horizontal grinders are built for high-throughput industrial and forestry applications.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3408 diesel engine rated at 410 horsepower, a well-regarded large-displacement powerplant known for its durability and serviceability in demanding grinding applications. The machine is reported to have accumulated low hours, suggesting it has been lightly used relative to its age.
The grinding circuit centres on a 57-inch diameter rotor, which is the primary cutting and size-reduction component. Material is fed via a 55-inch charging conveyor into a 10-cubic-yard hopper, giving operators ample staging capacity for continuous, high-volume processing. Processed material is carried away on a 24-inch discharge conveyor. A 10-cubic-yard fines separation drum is integrated into the system, segregating fine material from the primary output stream, with a dedicated 72-inch fines conveyor handling the separated material. At full production the unit is rated at 200 tons per hour.
The machine is mounted on a tri-axle trailer chassis, making it self-contained and road-transportable between job sites without requiring additional heavy-haul permitting in most jurisdictions. This unit is currently located in New Hampshire, USA, and is offered at $95,000.
