1995 MORBARK 1300

Newer clutch and lots of extra parts. Will need a little maintenance since it's been sitting, but grinds well. Was originally a 1250 tub but was converted to a 1300 (longer flairing on tub and longer grapple boom).

1995 Morbark 1300

1,500 hours on a rebuilt 750HP CAT 3412 — this 1995 Morbark 1300 stands out because the engine has been rebuilt and has relatively low hours since the rebuild. That adds real value for continued production use.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles brush, timber, and stumps on job sites
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators looking for value — rebuilt engine with strong horsepower

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 a rebuilt 750HP CAT 3412 engine. That level of horsepower places it in the production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With 1,500 hours on the rebuild, the engine has relatively low usage since major work was completed. That can help extend the usable life compared to a machine with original high-hour components.

This machine was originally a Morbark 1250 and was converted to a 1300. The conversion includes a longer flared tub and longer grapple boom, which improves material handling and loading capability.

It includes a newer clutch and comes with a number of extra parts, which can help reduce downtime and support maintenance.

The machine has been sitting and will need some maintenance before full operation, but it is reported to grind well. Buyers should plan for a general inspection and minor repairs as part of setup.

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