1992 MORBARK 1100

Motor replaced approximately in 2012. Tub and general condition of the machine is good. All hydraulic hoses were recently replaced and the radiator re-cored. Rotor head is fair. Comes with extra screens, tips, and bolts. Very reliable machine; always starts on the first few cranks, even when cold. Used primarily for second grind and coloring mulch, but works well for single grind. Water bar installed to add water to mulch while coloring.

Machine has never left the property since owned, so it needs a little work to be mobilized. Seller will be responsible for making sure the machine can road travel.

1992 Morbark 1100

1992 Morbark 1100 powered by a CAT 3408 engine — a reliable tub grinder that has been maintained and updated over time. The engine was replaced around 2012, which adds value compared to original high-hour components.

Who This Machine Is For

• Recycling yards — ideal for mulch production and second grind applications
• Mulch producers — set up for coloring and consistent output
• Land clearing contractors — handles brush and wood waste
• Operators looking for reliability — proven machine with maintenance history

What It Grinds

• Wood waste — processes material into reusable mulch or product
• Brush and green waste — reduces volume for hauling or reuse
• Pallets and scrap wood — handles common recycling materials
• Regrind material — suitable for second grind and finishing work

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 CAT 3408 engine that was replaced around 2012. That update can extend the usable life compared to machines still running original engines.

Engine hours are not listed, so buyers should verify usage and overall condition. The machine has been used primarily for second grind and mulch coloring, which is generally less demanding than heavy land clearing.

The tub and overall condition are reported to be good. All hydraulic hoses have been recently replaced, and the radiator has been re-cored. These are important maintenance items that support reliability.

The rotor head is described as fair, so buyers should evaluate it as part of normal inspection. The machine includes extra screens, tips, and bolts, which are key wear components for ongoing operation.

A water bar is installed, allowing water to be added during mulch coloring. The machine has remained on one property, so some work may be needed to make it road-ready, though the seller will ensure it can travel.

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