Self-propelled grinder

Self-propelled grinder

The Vermeer HG4000TX self-propelled horizontal grinder allows the operator to maneuver around land-clearing or forest-thinning jobsites without the need for additional support equipment. The 440-hp (330-kW) Tier 3 diesel engine powers the exclusive duplex drum, which features 8 hammers and 16 cutters. The reversible hammers and cutter blocks last nearly twice as long as single-sided designs. The exclusive SmartGrind feature stops and reverses material from feeding into the hammermill when engine rpm drops below an efficient operating range. A 48-inch (122-cm) wide, single-discharge, V-cleat belt provides a smooth, efficient transfer of processed material from the belly of the machine to the load out. The HG4000TX can be controlled by a multi-function, wireless remote control that allows the operator to control most operating functions from a maximum operating distance of 300 feet (91 m).
