Morbark Inc. of Winn, Mich., has introduced a horizontal grinder—the model 3800 Wood Hog, aimed at mid-range wood and green debris recycling applications.

• The model has a 38-inch by 59 ¾ -inch infeed opening. A step-frame design creates space under and within the mill area allowing processed material to exit the grinding chamber freely.

• Equipped with internal hydraulic drive on the feed wheel, as well as a six-tooth drive sprocket on the bed chain, torque is increased to both the yoke and the infeed chain, eliminating wayward debris and congestion at the mill site, according to a news release from the manufacturer.

• The machine has three sections of screen for a total of 3,539 square inches of screening area.

• Engine options include Caterpillar or Cummins diesel engines with horsepower ranges from 400 to 630.

• Electric power is also available.

• Drive train protection comes standard on the model 3800 in the form of a PT Tech hydraulic wet clutch with internal torque limiting device.

• An optional twin disc clutch with full breakaway Brunel torque limiter is also offered.

• The machine also has Morbark’s Iqan system, a feed and digital monitoring system that is designed to boost production levels by providing a consistent feed to the grinding chamber.

• The 3800 weighs in at a little more than 53,000 pounds, making it road legal with no permits required for transport.

• A track model will also be available in the near future.
