2017 PETERSON PACIFIC 5710D

2017 Peterson Pacific 5710D

4,400 hours on a 2017 Peterson Pacific 5710D — that’s roughly 550 hours per year on a 1,050HP horizontal grinder. That level of usage is typical for a machine working in steady production environments.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles high volumes of brush, timber, and stumps
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into consistent, reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators needing high horsepower — production grinder for demanding 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 1,050HP CAT C27 engine. That level of horsepower places it in the high-production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With 4,400 hours over 8 years, you’re looking at about 550 hours per year. That reflects a machine that has been used consistently but not excessively for its class.

The Peterson Pacific 5710D is a production horizontal grinder with controlled feeding. This allows for more consistent output and better handling of long material compared to tub grinders.

This unit includes several screens, which gives flexibility in controlling the final product size. Having multiple screens on hand can help reduce downtime when switching between applications.

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