This Vermeer HG6000 is a horizontal grinder — sometimes referred to as a tub grinder or wood hog — a heavy-duty machine used to reduce wood waste, land-clearing debris, green waste, and organic material into mulch, biomass fuel, or compost feedstock. Vermeer is a well-established American equipment manufacturer with a long history of producing industrial and agricultural machinery, including horizontal grinders widely used by tree services, land-clearing contractors, recycling operations, and municipalities.
This 2010 unit is offered in used condition from New York, USA, at $59,500 as-is, where-is. The machine has accumulated approximately 3,000 hours of use and is powered by a Caterpillar C-18 engine rated at 750 horsepower — a large-displacement, high-output powerplant well suited to continuous heavy-duty grinding work. The infeed chain is described as being in good condition, and the mill is reported to be in great shape, indicating that the core grinding components remain functional and serviceable.
The unit was previously owned by a municipality, suggesting it has been operated and maintained within a public-sector fleet environment. Prospective buyers should note that the machine has sustained fire damage and is being sold strictly on an as-is, where-is basis. The extent of the fire damage is not detailed, and buyers are advised to conduct their own inspection prior to purchase.
