Morbark unveiled its new 3400XT Wood Hog horizontal grinder with a special presentation Tuesday at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2017.

According to Morbark, the 3400XT features sloped in-feed sides and an additional 24 in. in-feed length giving operators better visibility and loading efficiency.

The grinder’s variable speed in-feed system consists of one 34-in. diameter top compression feed roll with internal drive and a 16-ft. x 57 1/2-in. live floor equipped with four strands of WDH-120 chain in a staggered configuration.

The 3400XT features a 32-in. x 58 1/2-in. hammermill system constructed of heavy-duty 20-in. diameter rotor and 58 1/8-in.-thick two-piece laser-cut rotor plates to ensure precision and enforce steel strength.

Also, an extended platform area between the hood and engine provide for better performing maintenance, Morbark says. A hydraulic hinged door allows quick and easy access for changing grates.

The 3400XT also features a removable in-feed floor, an automatic reversing fan system, a dust suppression system and a hydraulically operated debris-containment door.
