2000 MORBARK 1300

2000 Morbark 1300

3,475 hours on a rebuilt 860HP CAT engine — this 2000 Morbark 1300 offers production-level horsepower with a rebuilt engine. That combination provides strong output with key engine work already completed.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles high volumes of brush, timber, and stumps
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators looking for value — production grinder with rebuilt engine

What It Grinds

• Whole trees and 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 an 860HP CAT engine that has been rebuilt. That level of horsepower places it in the production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With 3,475 hours on the rebuild, the engine has seen use but still benefits from having major work completed. Rebuilt engines can help extend the usable life compared to original high-hour units.

The Morbark 1300 is a production tub grinder with a gravity-fed design. This allows operators to load large material directly into the tub without pre-processing, making it efficient for high-volume grinding operations.

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

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