2020 Diamond Z DZH5500TKT

1,600 hours on a 2020 Diamond Z DZH5500TKT — that’s roughly 320 hours per year on a 1,050HP horizontal grinder. That level of low annual use is uncommon for this class and leaves strong remaining life.

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 maximum production — high horsepower with premium features

What It Grinds

• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber
• Whole trees and large timber — handles heavy 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 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 1,600 hours over 5 years, you’re looking at about 320 hours per year. That’s low usage for a grinder of this size and suggests less wear on major components like the mill and drivetrain.

The Diamond Z DZH5500TKT is a track-mounted horizontal grinder. This allows for easy mobility around job sites while maintaining the controlled feed system that horizontal grinders are known for.

This unit is well-equipped with high-value features, including a triple-axle transport dolly, remote control, auxiliary hydraulic power unit, reversing fan, and contaminant detection system. It also includes a phase II magnetic roller, which helps remove metal contaminants from material.

Multiple screens are included (5" x 7" rectangular and 2" hex), allowing operators to adjust final product size. The machine also comes with new mill rods, as well as 3" hammers and tips for upgrading the mill from its current 2-1/2" setup.

These extras add significant value and flexibility for different grinding applications. Buyers should still evaluate wear components as part of normal inspection, but overall hours and included upgrades make this a strong production unit.

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