Vermeer HG4000TX Horizontal Grinder

The HG4000TX Vermeer horizontal grinder has a tracked undercarriage. It has a 42x60-inch feed opening and double-strength infeed sidewalls that allow for the processing of whole trees and other large organic materials, according to the company.

The feed roller features down pressure for material control and pull-in power. For grinding, the machine uses a Series III duplex drum equipped with 18 bolt-on tips and nine replaceable hammers.

It is powered by a 536-horsepower diesel engine.

An optional onboard coloring system is fully integrated into the grinder, allowing crews to produce colored mulch with just the grinder, a water source, and dye. The system automatically adjusts dye and water flow based on material feed.

The grinder comes standard with an intelligent feed system that automatically monitors engine speed and optimizes infeed speed. A full-function wireless remote allows operators to control operating functions from up to 300 feet away.
