2023 Vermeer HG4000

480 hours on a 2023 Vermeer HG4000 — that’s roughly 240 hours per year on a 536HP horizontal grinder. This is a near-new machine with low hours and multiple premium features.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles brush, timber, and wood waste on job sites
• Recycling yards — processes material into reusable products
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators wanting like-new equipment — low hours with advanced features

What It Grinds

• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber
• Whole trees and timber — handles large 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 536HP CAT Tier 4 Final engine. That level of horsepower places it in the mid-to-high production class, capable of handling a wide range of material efficiently.

With only 480 hours over 2 years, you’re looking at about 240 hours per year. That’s low usage for a grinder and suggests minimal wear on major components.

This machine is described as like new, which is a strong indicator of overall condition and readiness to go straight to work.

It comes equipped with several high-value features, including a screen hoist for easier screen changes, an air compressor, and an overhead magnet to remove metal contaminants.

Additional features include a damage defense system, which helps protect the machine from uncrushable materials, and an axial magnetic drive pulley for improved material handling and separation.

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

Buyers should still evaluate wear components as part of normal inspection, but low hours and added features make this a strong option.

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