This 2021 Tigercat 6900 is a used horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder's track-mounted counterpart, or more broadly as a wood hog — a class of machine built for high-volume material reduction of wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, and similar feedstocks into mulch, biomass fuel, or other processed material. Tigercat is a well-regarded Canadian manufacturer with deep roots in the forestry and logging industries, known for building exceptionally robust equipment designed to perform in demanding production environments. That same heavy-duty engineering philosophy carries directly into their material processing line.
Power comes from a Caterpillar C32 Tier 4 Final diesel engine producing 1,200 horsepower (895 kW), giving this machine the output needed for sustained, high-throughput grinding in the most demanding applications. A 2,082-litre fuel tank supports extended production runs without frequent interruptions for refuelling.
The machine weighs approximately 43,090 kg and rides on heavy-duty 5-Series track frames fitted with 700 mm (28-inch) triple-grouser track shoes, providing stability and mobility across rough terrain without the need for outriggers. On-site repositioning is further aided by a pivoting upper frame design. Overall dimensions are approximately 16.2 metres in length, 3.33 metres in width, and 3.66 metres in transport height.
The infeed system features a feed trough approximately 4,725 mm long with an opening of around 1,450 mm wide by 965 mm high, and a 130 mm pitch feed chain. The adjustable infeed angle allows the machine to handle both long and short material effectively. The rotor operates on an upswing configuration, and the split hog box design provides full access for servicing. Hydraulically retractable anvils and screens, along with an open discharge bottom, contribute to both operational performance and ease of maintenance.
Operator controls include a remote control for primary machine functions and a 10-inch (25 cm) display screen for monitoring and real-time adjustment. The machine is also prepared for large-diameter magnetic head pulley installation and over-band magnet fitment as optional configurations.
This particular unit has 1,756 hours and was recently brought back into service condition: tooth holders, screens, and the cradle were all replaced at the end of September. A compressor is mounted directly on the machine to support on-site maintenance tasks. The machine is located in Florida, USA, is offered in good working condition, and is listed at $755,000.
