2021 DIAMOND Z DZT8000

Only 2 months old! Put into service Nov 2021. Has remaining warranties from Diamond Z (till Nov 2022) and CAT (till Nov 2023 or 2000 hours). Excellent condition, machine was just too big for the owner.

2021 Diamond Z DZT8000

357 hours on a 2021 Diamond Z DZT8000 — that’s extremely low use on a 1,050HP production tub grinder. With only a short time in service, this unit offers near-new condition without the wait for a new build.

Who This Machine Is For

• Large land clearing operations — built for continuous, high-volume grinding
• Recycling yards — processes large wood waste piles into sellable product
• Forestry contractors — handles whole trees, stumps, and dense timber
• Buyers wanting low-hour equipment — near-new machine without new pricing

What It Grinds

• Whole trees and large timber — tub design allows feeding oversized material directly
• Stumps — breaks down dense root systems with high horsepower
• Brush and green waste — reduces volume quickly for hauling or reuse
• Construction wood waste — processes pallets, lumber, and mixed debris

This is not a chipper. It uses hammers, so the output is ground material, not uniform chips.

Specs in Plain Language

This unit is powered by a 1,050HP CAT C27 engine. That level of horsepower is built for high-production grinding and can handle large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With only 357 hours since being put into service in November 2021, this machine has seen very limited use. That means minimal wear on key components like the mill, drivetrain, and hydraulic systems.

This unit was only in service for about two months and still carries remaining warranties from Diamond Z (through November 2022) and CAT (through November 2023 or 2,000 hours, depending on usage). That adds confidence for buyers concerned about early ownership costs.

The DZT8000 is known as a high-production tub grinder. The open tub design allows operators to load large material without pre-processing, helping maximize efficiency on large jobs.

If you’re comparing options, you can also view other tub grinders or check horizontal grinders if your operation needs more controlled feeding.
