2014 MORBARK 1000

Very good condition.

2014 Morbark 1000

511 hours on a 2014 Morbark 1000 — that’s roughly 45 hours per year, which is extremely low use for a tub grinder. That kind of usage is rare and leaves a lot of life left in the machine.

Who This Machine Is For

• Tree service companies — handles brush, limbs, and wood waste efficiently
• Land clearing contractors — good for small-to-mid size grinding jobs
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into mulch or reusable material
• Operators wanting low-hour equipment — minimal wear compared to typical used units

What It Grinds

• Brush and limbs — breaks down green waste for volume reduction
• Small to medium timber — handles manageable wood material with steady output
• Stumps — processes lighter root systems with proper feeding
• Construction wood waste — handles pallets, scrap 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 550HP CAT engine. That level of horsepower is ideal for light-to-mid production work, giving you enough power without the fuel and maintenance demands of larger grinders.

With only 511 hours over 11 years, you’re looking at about 45 hours per year. That is extremely low usage for this type of machine and suggests very limited wear on major components like the mill and drivetrain.

The Morbark 1000 is known as a compact tub grinder. The open tub design allows operators to load material directly, keeping operation simple and efficient for smaller crews or mobile jobs.

Because no additional extras are listed, buyers should evaluate condition, but the low hours are the key value point on this unit.

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