2006 CBI 6800T

7,315 hours on a 2006 CBI 6800T — that’s roughly 385 hours per year on a high-production horizontal grinder. That level of use is moderate for this class and is backed by extensive maintenance and component updates.

Who This Machine Is For

• Large land clearing operations — handles high volumes of brush, timber, and stumps
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into reusable material
• Forestry contractors — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators needing production output — high horsepower with strong maintenance history

What It Grinds

• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber
• Whole trees and timber — handles large material with controlled feed

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 3412E engine. That level of horsepower places it in the high-production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With 7,315 hours over 19 years, you’re looking at about 385 hours per year. That reflects steady use without being excessive for a grinder in this category.

This machine has seen significant updates. It includes new belt drives, new tips and screens, a new radiator with engine fan and guard, a new alternator, and a new engine coupler. These are critical components that directly impact performance and uptime.

The mill has been balanced, which is important for smooth operation and reducing wear. Turbos were replaced at 5,500 hours, and the hog box has been reworked, both of which add value to the machine’s condition.

Maintenance has been consistent and detailed. Hydraulic fluid was changed at 6,526 hours, oil was changed every 100 hours, and air filters were swapped twice daily. That level of maintenance is a strong indicator of how the machine has been cared for.

The CBI 6800T is a horizontal grinder, meaning it uses a controlled feed system for more consistent material sizing and efficient processing.
