Small tub grinders?

carl reitnauer · Oct 18, 2013

what are some of the smaller tub grinders built? Anything a 50hp tractor can power? What usually wears out on a tub grinder? I've never been around one and it will probably the next item my boys need for their recycling businss......the hammermill works great but they can use BIGGER. please educate me on this.

Tube grinder and 50 Horsepower do not mix. LOL The PTO driven ones could easily eat up 150 Horse power, 200 even better.

Look around for a used Morbark 950. They normally come with 150-250 hp and most have cat power but depends on how they were ordered as some we made with JD and even Perkins power. Go to Morbark.com to see them. They are the smallest tub grinder we made and good entry level unit. Still pretty big though as tub is good 7-8' across and they are direct drive.They have a 2 sec. folding conveyer that folds up over the top for easy road transport. There's getting to be quite a few used dealers around now for this stuff.

JD seller,they make them down to 12hp,but it is too small for us. there are several uses for them besides hay and the smaller ones can do hay but are SLOW. Have found a 75-80 hp old one at a dairy but they keep it as a backup. Farmking or something close,old.

Another possibility is a CBI tub grinder. Same idea as Morbark just heavier.
