Information

2024 Vermeer® Horizontal Grinders HG6800TX

Built for land clearing and pipeline right-of-way operations.

The HG6800TX horizontal grinder is a productive workhorse capable of processing whole trees and other organic materials. Featuring a 950-hp (708-kW) engine and the industry-exclusive Series III duplex drum, this maintenance-friendly grinder is capable of tackling large land clearing and waste processing challenges efficiently — all with less operator interaction.

Features may include:

Series III hard-faced duplex drum
  • The Series III hard-faced duplex drum offers durability and convenient maintenance, with the ability to remove and replace single hammers and balance the drum externally.
Low sidewalls
  • Low sidewalls aid in feeding whole trees and other larger material with less restriction, reducing the need for operator interaction with the material.
SmartFeed system
  • The SmartFeed system monitors engine rpm and adjusts grinding speed for optimal machine performance.
Adjustable feed roller
  • The feed roller can climb up to 50 in (127 cm), helping the machine to crush logs or stumps that need to be rolled, and allowing the operator flexibility for different material inputs.
