2013 Vermeer HG4000

3,200 hours on a 2013 Vermeer HG4000 — that’s roughly 265 hours per year on a 450HP horizontal grinder. That level of low annual use is uncommon and suggests less wear on major components.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles brush, timber, and wood waste on job sites
• Recycling yards — processes material into reusable products
• Tree service companies — reduces limbs and organic debris efficiently
• Operators looking for value — well-maintained machine with useful extras

What It Grinds

• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber
• Small to medium timber — handles consistent feed material

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 450HP Fiat engine. That level of horsepower places it in the mid-production class, capable of handling a wide range of material efficiently without stepping into larger machines.

With 3,200 hours over 12 years, you’re looking at about 265 hours per year. That’s low usage for a grinder and can mean less wear on major components like the mill and drivetrain.

This machine has had a new infeed floor installed, which is a key wear component that directly impacts material feeding and overall performance.

It is reported to be in excellent condition and includes several valuable extras. It comes with a 5th wheel dolly for easier movement around the yard, along with extra parts to support maintenance.

The unit includes multiple screen sizes (1½”, 2”, and 4”), allowing flexibility in controlling final product size depending on your application.

All new tires have been installed, which is an important update for transport and overall usability.

This machine does not use a DEF system, which can be a benefit for operators looking for simpler engine systems and reduced emissions-related maintenance.

The Vermeer HG4000 is a horizontal grinder with a controlled feed system, allowing for consistent material sizing and efficient processing.

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