2003 Morbark 4000P

4,521 hours on a 2003 Morbark 4000P — that’s roughly 215 hours per year, and this unit has a rebuilt engine. That combination adds value for a machine in this class and helps extend its usable life.

Who This Machine Is For

• Mulch producers — applies colorant to wood fiber for resale
• Recycling yards — processes and enhances wood material for finished product
• Landscaping suppliers — produces colored mulch for commercial or retail use
• Budget-conscious buyers — entry point into mulch coloring with included extras

What It Processes

• Wood fiber — mixes and applies colorant evenly across material
• Ground mulch — enhances finished product for resale
• Recycled wood — turns raw grindings into marketable material
• Organic material — processes wood-based products for landscaping use

This is not a grinder. It is a mulch colorizer designed for processing and coloring material after grinding.

Specs in Plain Language

This unit is powered by a John Deere 4045 PowerTech engine, which has been rebuilt. That helps reduce concerns around engine wear and adds confidence for continued operation.

With 4,521 hours over 21 years, you’re looking at about 215 hours per year. That’s relatively low usage for a machine in this category.

The Morbark 4000P is a portable mulch colorizer with a 5-yard hopper, top and bottom mixing augers, and spray nozzles. It is designed to process up to 150 yards per hour depending on material and setup.

The machine is reported to be in full working condition when last used. The engine and hydraulic systems are solid, and the belt and top augers are in good shape. The bottom augers are worn and will need replacement soon, which buyers should plan for.

Additional parts included — such as a bottom auger drive motor, conveyor rollers, and other components — can help reduce downtime and support future maintenance.

If you’re comparing options, you can also view other mulch colorizers or check conveyors for material handling setups.
