2005 CBI 6800T

Well maintained grinder. Ready to work.

2005 CBI 3800T

7,500 hours on a 2005 CBI 3800T — that’s roughly 375 hours per year on a 1,000HP horizontal grinder. That level of usage is typical for a machine built for heavy production work.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles continuous grinding of brush, timber, and stumps
• Recycling yards — processes large volumes of wood waste into reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators needing high horsepower — designed for demanding, high-output jobs

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 1,000HP CAT engine. That level of horsepower puts it in the high-production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With 7,500 hours over 20 years, you’re looking at about 375 hours per year. That’s normal usage for a horizontal grinder working in land clearing or recycling environments.

The CBI 3800T is known as a production horizontal grinder. It offers controlled feeding, which helps produce more consistent material compared to tub grinders and works well with long feedstock.

Because no additional extras are listed, buyers should evaluate overall condition and wear components such as the mill, bearings, and drive system. Maintenance history will play a key role in performance.

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