1994 DIAMOND Z 1260

This 1994 Diamond Z 1260 has received major work across the mill, tub, driveline, conveyors, hydraulics, and electrical system. These repairs address many of the high-wear areas buyers examine on an older tub grinder.

Who This Machine Is For

• Land-clearing contractors — process bulky logs, stumps, limbs, and brush.
• Mulch producers — grind wood waste before screening or coloring.
• Storm-debris contractors — handle mixed tree and yard debris at large sites.
• Buyers seeking a rebuilt older grinder — many key wear parts have been replaced.
• Operations comparing used tub grinders — get a large wheel-mounted machine without new-equipment pricing.

What It Grinds

• Logs and stumps — the large tub accepts bulky wood that needs heavy reduction.
• Brush and limbs — process clearing debris into smaller material.
• Green waste — reduce yard debris before screening or composting.
• Pallets and clean wood waste — grind suitable wood after removing damaging contaminants.

Specs in Plain Language

The Diamond Z 1260 platform uses a 12-foot tub and 60-inch mill, giving operators room for large, bulky feed material. Historical records confirm the 1260’s 12-foot tub configuration. This unit has a CAT 3412E diesel engine, but its rated horsepower and emissions classification are not documented. Hours are unknown, so average annual use cannot be calculated.

Recent work includes new hammers, screens, mill bearings, mill-box wear plates, tub motors, tub chain, tub bearings, conveyor belts, tub cover, stairs, and remote system. The clutch, driveline, mill-shaft coupler, and conveyor cylinder were rebuilt. The machine was also rewired and received additional hoses, valves, and switches. It includes assorted spare hydraulic parts, conveyor belts, and a tow dolly. Replacement grinder tips and hammers are also available through us.
