1994 Morbark 1400B

The Morbark 1400B is one of the most recognized tub grinders in the industry, known for simple design and long-term durability. This unit gives buyers a proven platform at a lower entry cost for large-scale grinding work.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles brush, stumps, and large wood waste
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into mulch or reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense timber
• Budget-conscious operators — proven machine without newer equipment pricing

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

The Morbark 1400B is known as a production tub grinder. Its open tub design allows operators to load large material without pre-processing, which helps save time on big land clearing or yard jobs.

This unit comes with a new pony motor. That is important on tub grinders, as the pony motor controls key hydraulic functions like the tub rotation and feed system. A new unit can improve reliability and reduce downtime.

Engine hours are not listed, so buyers should evaluate overall condition and maintenance history. On machines of this age, upkeep plays a major role in performance and longevity.

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