2012 Morbark 3800

5,037 hours on a 2012 Morbark 3800 — that’s roughly 385 hours per year on a 630HP horizontal grinder. That level of moderate use is typical for this class and reflects steady production work.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing contractors — handles brush, timber, and wood waste on job sites
• Recycling yards — processes material into reusable products
• Mulch producers — ideal for double grinding and finished product
• Operators needing dependable production — proven machine ready to work

What It Grinds

• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber
• Regrind material — ideal for producing consistent mulch products
• Organic material — handles yard waste efficiently

This is not a chipper. It uses a hammermill system, so the output is ground material, not uniform chips.
