1996 Toro Progrind 5000

2,897 hours on a 1996 Toro Progrind 5000 — that’s roughly 100 hours per year on a 750HP tub grinder. That level of low annual use is uncommon for a machine in this class and leaves strong remaining life.

Who This Machine Is For

• Mulch producers — set up for coloring with included system and components
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into reusable material
• Land clearing contractors — handles brush, timber, and organic material
• Operators looking for value — low-hour machine with many new components

What It Grinds

• Whole trees and timber — tub design allows feeding oversized material directly
• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber
• Regrind material — suitable for mulch finishing and coloring

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 750HP Cummins engine. That level of horsepower places it in the production class, capable of handling large volumes of material without slowing down.

With 2,897 hours over 29 years, you’re looking at about 100 hours per year. That’s low usage for a tub grinder and suggests less wear on major components compared to machines used daily in production.

This machine has several major updates. It includes a brand new radiator, new clutch (plus two additional new clutches), new EMC, and a new computer. These are key components that directly affect performance and reliability.

It is equipped with a color system, including a new color pump and plumbing, a TH Glennon color jet (unused), and a spray bar already installed. This makes it ready for mulch coloring operations.

Additional parts include two brand new conveyor lift cylinders (not yet installed) and an assortment of screens for adjusting final product size.

The Progrind 5000 is a production tub grinder with a gravity-fed design, allowing operators to load large material directly into the tub for efficient processing.
