1995 Vermeer TG400

Approximately 1,000 hours on a rebuilt unit — this 1995 Vermeer TG400 stands out for its low hours since rebuild. That level of usage is uncommon for a tub grinder and adds strong value for continued operation.

Who This Machine Is For

• Tree service companies — handles brush, limbs, and smaller wood waste
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into reusable material
• Land clearing contractors — manages light to mid-size grinding jobs
• Operators looking for rebuilt equipment — low hours since major work

What It Grinds

• Brush and limbs — reduces green waste for hauling or reuse
• Small to medium timber — handles manageable wood material
• Yard waste — processes organic material efficiently
• Construction wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber

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 425HP CAT 3408 engine. That level of horsepower places it in the mid-size production class, suitable for a wide range of grinding applications without being oversized.

The machine has approximately 1,000 hours on a rebuild. The current owner purchased it with 600 hours after the rebuild and added around 400 hours during use. This provides a clear picture of recent usage despite the meter no longer working.

A turbo has been recently replaced, which is an important component for engine performance and reliability.

The Vermeer TG400 is a tub grinder with a gravity-fed design. This allows operators to load material directly into the tub without pre-processing, making it simple and efficient for many job site applications.

Buyers should still evaluate wear components such as the mill, bearings, and drivetrain as part of normal inspection, especially on a machine of this age.

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