2007 Morbark 1300

8,312 hours on a 2007 Morbark 1300 — that’s roughly 440 hours per year, which is typical use for a production tub grinder. This is a working machine built to stay in rotation on demanding jobs.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles continuous grinding of brush, timber, and stumps
• Recycling yards — processes steady volumes of wood waste into reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators needing production output — proven machine for daily use

What It Grinds

• Whole trees and large timber — tub design allows feeding oversized material directly
• Stumps — breaks down dense root systems into grindable material
• Brush and green waste — reduces volume 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 an 860HP CAT 3412 engine. That level of horsepower is built for production grinding and can handle large, dense material without constant slowdown.

With 8,312 hours over 19 years, you’re looking at about 440 hours per year. That’s normal usage for a tub grinder in active operation, especially in land clearing or recycling environments.

The Morbark 1300 is known as a production tub grinder. The open tub design allows operators to load large material without pre-processing, helping keep jobs moving efficiently.

Because no additional rebuilds or extras are listed, buyers should evaluate overall condition and maintenance history. On machines in this class, regular upkeep is key to long-term performance.

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