1999 Peterson Pacific 5400

1999 Peterson Pacific 5400 powered by a 900HP CAT 3412 — a high-production horizontal grinder with multiple key components recently replaced. This unit has seen significant updates that add value despite unknown hours.

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 looking for value — updated machine with strong horsepower

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 900HP CAT 3412 engine. That level of horsepower places it in the high-production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down.

Engine hours are unknown, so buyers should verify usage and overall condition. On machines of this age, maintenance history and component condition are key factors.

This machine has had several important updates. It includes a new belly belt, new alternator, new starter, new batteries, and new tips. The anvil has been rebuilt, and the drum rotor is included. These are critical components that directly impact grinding performance and reliability.

Additional features include a remote control and a magnetic head pulley, which helps remove metal contaminants from material. It also comes with 2" screens and demo screens for adjusting final product size.

The Peterson Pacific 5400 is a horizontal grinder with a controlled feed system, allowing for consistent material sizing and efficient processing in high-volume operations.

Buyers should still evaluate wear components such as the mill, teeth, and conveyor system as part of normal inspection, especially given unknown hours.
