2009 Rotochopper MC266

3,751 hours on a 2009 Rotochopper MC266 — that’s roughly 235 hours per year on a 575HP horizontal grinder. That level of moderate use is paired with major recent rebuild work, making this unit stand out.

Who This Machine Is For

• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into reusable material
• Mulch producers — ideal for producing consistent end-product material
• Tree service companies — handles limbs and organic debris
• Operators looking for value — rebuilt machine with strong production capability

What It Grinds

• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber
• Regrind material — ideal for producing consistent mulch products
• Organic material — handles yard waste efficiently

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 575HP engine, placing it in the mid-production class. It has enough power to handle a wide range of material while maintaining efficiency.

With 3,751 hours over 16 years, you’re looking at about 235 hours per year. That reflects moderate use for a grinder in this category.

The key value in this machine is the recent rebuild work. Bearings, drum, and internal components of the grinder have all been replaced, making the grinding system essentially like new. This significantly reduces immediate maintenance concerns.

It also includes extra ripper teeth, with approximately 80% of the set remaining, which helps reduce downtime and ongoing wear costs.

The Rotochopper MC266 is designed for consistent material output, especially in mulch production. The controlled feed system helps maintain uniform sizing.

Buyers should still evaluate other wear components such as belts, hydraulics, and conveyors as part of normal inspection, but the rebuilt internals add strong value.

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