2000 Morbark 1300

A 2000 Morbark 1300 with an 865HP CAT 3412E and a new clutch installed less than 50 hours ago. The mill was also recently balanced, and the machine is currently running on the yard.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land clearing operations — process large volumes of brush and logs
• Mulch producers — multiple screens for different finished products
• Wood recycling yards — high horsepower for heavy grinding applications
• Storm cleanup contractors — handle bulky wood waste efficiently
• Operators needing a proven tub grinder — straightforward, heavy-duty grinding platform

What It Grinds

• Logs — large tub design handles oversized wood material
• Brush and green waste — reduces organic material quickly
• Wood waste — processes clean wood into reusable grind
• Storm debris — handles mixed natural wood material
• Pallets — breaks down wood waste efficiently

This is not a chipper. It produces ground material, not uniform chips.

Specs in Plain Language

The engine shows approximately 8,500 hours verified through the ECM, while frame hours are unknown. It’s powered by an 865HP CAT 3412E diesel engine, a heavy-duty engine commonly found in large grinders built for high production work.

The Morbark 1300 is known for its large tub capacity and ability to handle bulky material without constant resizing. The recent clutch replacement is a major plus since that’s a costly wear component on grinders in this class. The recently balanced mill also helps reduce vibration and improves smoother operation.

This machine comes with several screens, allowing you to adjust output size depending on your application. The trailer also has great tires, making transport easier for the next owner.

If you’re comparing options, check out other tub grinders or pair it with equipment like trommel screens for separating finished material.
