2012 Rotochopper MP2

1,729 hours on a 2012 Rotochopper MP2 — that’s roughly 130 hours per year, which is very low use for a horizontal grinder. That level of usage, combined with recent wear parts, adds strong value for continued operation.

Who This Machine Is For

• Pallet recyclers — ideal for processing pallets into reusable material
• Tree service companies — handles limbs and light wood waste
• Small to mid-size recycling yards — consistent output without oversized equipment
• Operators wanting low-hour equipment — well-maintained unit with key features

What It Grinds

• Pallets — processes wood waste into reusable material
• Tree limbs — handles light brush and organic debris
• Soft wood material — suitable for controlled, consistent grinding
• Construction wood waste — processes scrap lumber and debris

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

Specs in Plain Language

This unit is powered by a 350HP CAT C9 engine. That level of horsepower makes it a good fit for light-to-mid production work without the fuel and maintenance demands of larger grinders.

With only 1,729 hours over 13 years, you’re looking at about 130 hours per year. That’s very low usage and can mean less wear on major components like the mill and drivetrain.

This machine is plumbed for a colorizer, which adds flexibility for mulch operations if needed. It also includes two magnets, which help remove metal from material and protect internal components.

It features remote control operation for safer and more convenient use, along with an extended discharge conveyor for improved material handling.

The machine has new teeth with less than 10 hours of use, and it is reported to start and run well with no known mechanical issues. Hydraulics, belts, and conveyor are all operating as expected.
