2015 Morbark 1300

10,818 hours on a 2015 Morbark 1300 — that’s roughly 1,080 hours per year on a 1,050HP production tub grinder. That level of use reflects a machine that has been consistently working in high-demand environments, with key components updated along the way.

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 needing production output — high horsepower with updated components

What It Grinds

• Whole trees and large 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 1,050HP CAT C27 engine. That level of horsepower places it in the high-production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With 10,818 hours over 10 years, you’re looking at about 1,080 hours per year. That reflects consistent production use, which is common for grinders in this category.

This machine has several key component updates. It has two new tub drive motors, augers with approximately 2,000 hours, a mill shaft with 1,500 hours, and a flex coupler with 1,000 hours. These are important components that directly affect performance and reliability.

The unit has been serviced every 250 hours, with a fresh service completed just 5 hours ago. Regular maintenance like this is critical for keeping a production grinder running properly.

The Morbark 1300 is a production 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 high-volume grinding operations.

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