About this machine
The Vermeer HG6000 is a horizontal grinder — sometimes called a tub grinder's open-throat counterpart, or more broadly a wood hog — designed to process large volumes of wood waste, land-clearing debris, stumps, and organic material into a uniform, usable end product such as mulch, compost feedstock, or biomass fuel. Vermeer is a well-established manufacturer of heavy industrial and construction equipment, with a long track record in the grinding, trenching, and underground construction markets, and their horizontal grinders are widely used by land clearing contractors, recycling operations, and municipalities.
This 2012 machine is offered in used condition from Wisconsin, USA, and carries a number of notable specifications worth examining closely. The feed opening measures 60 by 32 inches, providing a generous throat capable of accepting large-diameter logs and bulky material. Power comes from a Caterpillar C18 engine rated at 755 horsepower, placing this grinder firmly in the high-production class suitable for demanding, continuous grinding applications.
The infeed conveyor is a 60-inch steel unit that was replaced new approximately 500 hours ago, indicating it has seen meaningful but not excessive use since its installation and retains considerable service life. The 48-inch discharge belt is listed as new, an upgrade that ensures reliable material transfer away from the grinding chamber without the wear concerns associated with an older belt. The machine weighs 68,000 pounds, reflecting the heavy-duty construction typical of a grinder at this production capacity.
The asking price is $275,000.
