2018 Peterson 2710D

5,000 hours on a 2018 Peterson 2710D — that’s roughly 700 hours per year on a 765HP horizontal grinder. That level of use is typical for a machine working in active production environments.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles continuous grinding of brush, timber, and stumps
• Recycling yards — processes wood waste into consistent, reusable material
• Forestry operations — built for grinding whole trees and dense material
• Operators needing production output — strong horsepower for steady daily work

What It Grinds

• Whole trees and large timber — horizontal feed handles long material efficiently
• Stumps — breaks down dense root systems into grindable material
• Brush and green waste — reduces volume quickly for hauling or reuse
• Construction wood waste — processes pallets, lumber, and mixed debris

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 765HP CAT C18 engine. That level of horsepower places it in the production class, capable of handling large, dense material without slowing down under load.

With 5,000 hours over 7 years, you’re looking at about 700 hours per year. That reflects a machine that has been used consistently in production settings.

The Peterson 2710D is known as a production horizontal grinder. It offers controlled feeding, which helps produce more consistent material compared to tub grinders and works well with long feedstock.

Because no additional extras are listed, buyers should evaluate overall condition and wear components such as the mill, bearings, and drivetrain. Maintenance history will be important for long-term performance.

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