1994 MORBARK 1000

1994 Morbark 1000

1994 Morbark 1000 powered by a 400HP CAT engine — a mid-size tub grinder with key components recently rebuilt. The rebuilt mill with less than 300 hours is the standout feature on this unit.

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 core components at a lower price point

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 400HP CAT engine. That level of horsepower places it in the mid-size production class, suitable for a wide range of grinding applications without being oversized.

Engine hours are not listed, so buyers should verify usage and overall condition. On machines of this age, maintenance history and wear components are important to evaluate.

The key feature here is the fully rebuilt mill with less than 300 hours. The mill is one of the most important components in a grinder, and recent work can significantly impact performance and longevity.

Several hydraulic motors have also been rebuilt, which adds additional value and helps reduce near-term maintenance needs.

The Morbark 1000 is a tub grinder with a gravity-fed design. This allows operators to load large material directly into the tub without pre-processing, making it efficient for land clearing and recycling operations.

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