1993 DIAMOND Z PWG-1260

Was purchase new and had very little use over the years. Over $10k worth of extra parts.

1993 Diamond Z PWG-1260

2,250 hours on a 1993 Diamond Z PWG-1260 — that’s roughly 70 hours per year, which is very low use for a tub grinder. That kind of light usage is uncommon and suggests less wear compared to typical production machines.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles brush, stumps, and wood waste on job sites
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into mulch or reusable material
• Forestry operations — suitable for steady grinding applications
• Budget-conscious buyers — low-hour machine with added spare parts value

What It Grinds

• Brush and limbs — reduces green waste for easier handling
• Stumps — breaks down root systems into grindable material
• Wood waste — processes pallets, lumber, and mixed debris
• Yard waste — handles organic material and green waste

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 650HP CAT 3408 engine. That level of horsepower puts it in a strong mid-to-high production range, capable of handling larger material without stepping into the highest fuel consumption class.

With 2,250 hours over 32 years, you’re looking at about 70 hours per year. That’s very low usage for this type of equipment, especially compared to grinders that run daily in production environments.

This unit includes over $10,000 worth of extra parts. That can help reduce downtime and save on immediate replacement costs for wear items, which is a key advantage for buyers.

The PWG-1260 is part of the Diamond Z tub grinder lineup, known for simple, heavy-duty construction. The open tub design allows operators to load large material without pre-processing, helping keep jobs moving efficiently.

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