2019 Vermeer HG4000

2,366 hours on a 2019 Vermeer HG4000 — that’s roughly 395 hours per year on a 500HP horizontal grinder. That level of use is moderate and leaves strong remaining life for continued 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
• Tree service companies — reduces limbs and organic debris efficiently
• Operators needing mid-size production — balanced power and mobility

What It Grinds

• Brush and limbs — reduces green waste for hauling or reuse
• Wood waste — processes material into consistent output
• Small to medium timber — handles manageable wood efficiently
• Construction wood waste — processes pallets and scrap lumber

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 500HP engine, placing it in the mid-size production class. That level of horsepower is well-suited for contractors and yards that need steady output without running a larger machine.

With 2,366 hours over 6 years, you’re looking at about 395 hours per year. That reflects a machine that has been used consistently but not heavily for its class.

The Vermeer HG4000 is known for efficient, controlled feeding. This helps produce consistent material and improves productivity when handling wood waste and land clearing debris.

This unit is reported to be fully functional and ready to work. Cosmetic wear is present but does not affect operation or structural integrity.

It includes two rectangular screens and two circular screens, giving flexibility to adjust final product size depending on application.
