2004 Bandit Beast 4680T

7,669 hours on a 2004 Bandit Beast 4680T — that’s roughly 380 hours per year, and this unit has key recent updates including a new conveyor and new mill bearings. That combination of steady use and recent work adds value for continued production.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles continuous grinding of brush, timber, and stumps
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into consistent, reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators needing production output — proven machine with recent component updates

What It Grinds

• Whole trees and large timber — horizontal feed handles long material efficiently
• Stumps — breaks down dense root systems into grindable material
• 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 a hammermill system, so the output is ground material, not uniform chips.

Specs in Plain Language

This unit is powered by a CAT 3412 engine, a well-known engine platform with strong parts availability and service support. That engine class is commonly used in production grinders and can handle demanding workloads.

With 7,669 hours over 20 years, you’re looking at about 380 hours per year. That’s normal usage for a horizontal grinder in active operation.

This machine has a new conveyor and new mill bearings, which are key wear components. Replacing these parts can improve reliability and reduce downtime in daily use. The engine has also been inspected by CAT and checked out strong, which is important for buyer confidence.

The Bandit Beast 4680T is known as a production horizontal grinder. It offers controlled feeding compared to tub grinders, making it better suited for longer material and consistent output.

If you’re comparing options, you can also view other horizontal grinders or check tub grinders if your operation prefers gravity-fed grinding.
