Built for land-clearing and pipeline right-of-way operations, the HG6800TX horizontal grinder offers a high-horsepower engine on a tracked machine with a compact design. Featuring 950 hp (708 kW) in a 92,000 lb (41,730.5 kg) class, and an infeed design designed specifically for feeding larger materials such as whole trees and large stumps, the new grinder is built to power through tough materials with less operator interaction.

Vermeer Damage Defense system is ideal for any type of tub or horizontal grinder operation that may encounter certain metal contaminants mixed in with their incoming materials. If the mill comes in contact with metal while grinding, Damage Defense system will alert the grinder control and automatically initiate the shutdown process. The system will reduce the likelihood of metal being pulled into the mill by reversing the feed system immediately, helping prevent significant damage to the grinder.
