Maximize your grinder power. The HG6000TX self-propelled track grinder is highly maneuverable and able to work at uneven job sites and land-clearing projects. For increased efficiency, the HG6000TX can also drive between material piles. It features the innovative duplex drum, remote-controlled operation, an exclusive feed system and many other productivity-enhancing features.

  • 48″ wide discharge conveyor: 48″ “V-cleat” single discharge belt design. Transfers material from the belly of the machine to the unloading conveyor. | Provides a smooth transition of material flow from belly of machine to loadout allowing for increased volume through the discharge of the machine. Increased belt speed and system pressure stall of 3000psi provides power and speed needed to remove high volume material flow from machine.
  • Duplex Drum: This patented cutting system offers optimum cutting performance with reduced maintenance. In addition, the Duplex Drum offers the latest technology in hammer design and replacement procedures in the industry. | The Duplex Drum offers multiple features, such as: 1. Reduced maintenance time due to protection of the hammers by the drum skin itself. The hammer passes through the drum, and the cutter block bolts to the face of the exposed portion of the hammer. Maintenance needs for buildup of hammers is reduced if the cutter blocks are maintained. 2. 10 hammers cutting 20 radial paths. 3. 1 style of hammers: Hardened wide block cutters. 4. Hammers are reversible, as are the cutter blocks, therefore doubling the life of the hammers. 5. Drum skin is reversible if wear shows over time, as are the end cap wipers. 6. Wipers are designed to remove buildup material between the end of the drum and the mill box walls. 7. Large 5.5″ (13.9 cm) spherical roller bearings have a high shock-load tolerance during the grinding operation. 8. Hammers pass through the center line of the drum, thus reducing the need for individual balancing of hammers. 9. Cutter blocks are the primary retention method of the hammer, with a back up center retention pin as a secondary method. This makes for very quick hammer removal. 10. The center retention pin has no load on it, so removal is very simple, and the hammers remain in place once the pin is removed as long as the cutter blocks are in place.
  • Easy Access Single Screen Design: The screen on the HG6000TX loads and unloads from the top down and a variety of screens are available to meet your customers needs. | Top loading screen allows the operator to change screens easily and in less time than the competition. One lift point is included for vertical lifting. Screens rotate around the lift point to allow straight/vertical removal of the screens.
  • Formed Alloy slat and chain feed table: Solid Floor design with continuous support of the infeed chain. Impact resistant slats installed. | Based on HG525 field testing and customer feedback the new Chain and Slat design on the HG6000TX has been changed to improve structural support and wear life. Less manitenance and repair can now be experienced based on this improved design.
  • Hydraulic Float Feed Wheel: Free Floating feed wheel designed to assist with the feeding of materials. | The floating feed wheel allows various sized materials to enter the mill area while maintaining constant pressure on product. Constant, increased, “Down Pressure” can be applied by pressing the “DP” button the remote control.
  • Hydraulic Power Take-Off (HPTO): This Micro-Processor controlled PT Tech hydraulic PTO handles transfer of power and torque from the engine to the mill. This system maximizes drive line efficiency and automatically helps to protect clutch components on start up. | The micro-processor controlled starting sequence permits equipment start-up with the push of a button. This eliminates the need for an operator to bump the clutch which in turn reduces clutch failure possiblities on start up and costly down time.This standard feature on the HG6000 improves the overall efficiency of the operation of the machine, reduces PTO maintenance time, and decreases the chance for costly repairs or replacement.
  • Infeed Over PSI Auto Reverse Function: Hydraulic over pressure switch plumbed in-line of forward feed circuits. If pressure reaches 2400psi on feed roller or infeed chain, the circuit will momentarily reverse and return to forward feed. | This self monitoring system allows operator to stay focused on feeding the machine and prevents infeed functions from stalling due to material wedge. Less interaction required between operator and infeed controls.
  • Open end 14′ x 60″ feed table: formed alloy slat infeed chain design and open front for easy loading in a wide variety of conditions. | Formed slats provide increased strength to chain desighned for tough application. Open end feed table requires less time for material prep work.
  • Optional 20ft Infeed: 20ft infeed frame bolted to mainframe of machine. Hopper flares are reinforced using 2 3/8″ tubing along the top and front nose of the infeed. | This extended infeed for the track unit provides added table length for long material such as whole trees, providing more table area to support the main stem of the tree, providing less interation from the operator having to support the end of the tree until infeed chain and feedroller can pull the tree in. The added length provides the operator the length needed to efficently load greenwaste, regrind, pallet materail using a front end loader with bucket.
  • Optional Bolt-On Infeed Table Flares: Flares for infeed table/hopper bolt in place versus a weld in design. | With a bolt-on design, benefits include increased flexibility under load, no welds or gussets that will break over time and need repair or welding performed. Easily replaced with minimal cost and time, and may increase aesthetics for re-sale purposes.
  • Optional on board air compressor: 12.5hp aircompressor provides 24CFM @175psi. Compressor is mounted at rear of machine and equipped with 30 gallon air tank | On board compressor provides the power nedded to run service air tools such as impact wrenches for cutter block maintenance, air wand for air-cleaner element maintenance, as well as fines removal from machine before transporting or daily maintenance is performed.
  • Radio Remote: Multi function radio remote allows operator to run most functions away from machine. LCD readout provides engine data, as well as ability to adjust a number of infeed and engine parameters according to material type. | Allows operator to control the machine from a safe distance, or can be mounted in the cab of support equipment used to load machine. Operator can make adjustments to infeed settings and monitor engine while in the safety of the cab without climbing in and out to make corrections. Key pad is located between the two track joysticks with the more frequently used buttons along outside edge of pad providing easy access while machine is in operation.
  • Removable Anvil: Innovative design that secures the anvil in place but allows for convenient removal for maintenance and/or replacement. | Anvil can be hard surfaced for longer life and is easily removable from the ground level. All hardware used to secure the anvil in place is located on the outside of the machine away from the wear path of material.
  • Reversible Feed Wheel: Top Feed Wheel pulls material into the grinding chamber or reverses material away from the chamber when prompted. | Hydraulically driven, the operator can reverse the feed wheel independently from the feed table to re-position irregular material as it enters the hammer mill.
  • Reversible hydraulic cooling fan: Hydraulically driven engine fan can be reversed to purge material away from radiator screen. | Programmable timer from 1-60 minutes allows operator to set cooling fan to cycle and reverse air flow through radiator to purge dust and debris away from radiator screen. Operator can also manually reverse fan from radio remote and override the timer.
  • Smart-Grind and Auto-Reverse Systems: Feed control system monitors engine RPM and adjusts feed rate to maintain desired RPM. Selector switch allows operator to choose between smart-grind, auto-reverse, manual feed modes. Smart-grind is a proportional control which will adjust infeed speed of feed chain and feed roller according to engine rpm drop. If engine rpm falls at or below specified engine rpm the infeed system will stop or reverse momentarily to allow engine rpm’s recover. Auto-reverse will maintain desired infeed speed and reverse feedroller and infeed chain only when engine rpm’s fall below programmed setting. | Allows operator to choose between different feed programs suited best for particual job, providing optimal machine performance with less interation between operator and infeed controls to prevent engine stalls. Allows operator to focus on raw material feeding and finish product removal.
  • T.O.D (Thrown Object Deflector) System: A “Patent Pending” hydraulically controlled Cover protudes over the hammermill area and delfects material dislodged towrads the open end of the feed table. This feature is hinged and can be raised ot lowered depending upon grinding applications by simply touching a button on the radio remote control. | Decreases the Quantity and Distance of thrown objects. Allows machine to be operated in a smaller “safe” work zone.
  • Track Pumps: Pumps are coupled to the gear drives located at rear of engine | No drive belts to adjust and maintain reducing maintenance costs also providing efficient effective transfer of hp to track pumps.
  • Track Undercarriage: Rigid mounted reinforced boxed track frame. Same system used on T755 trenchers equipped with 20″ or 24″ double grouser track pads using sealed track rollers and compressed coil spring. | This fully mobile unit allows operator to effiecently and effectivly move machine around jobsites whether it be landclearing, compost sites, forest thinning jobs, without the need for additional support equipment. Tracks provide increased traction in unstable ground condition providing access to remote areas, or transport across obstacles such as creeks, ditches, soft sandy or wet soil conditions, and inclines. Providing as low as 9psi on soft ground and 50psi on hardsurfaces. Idlers are sealed for life providing maintenace free rollers and sealed from contamination.
  • Two Degree Track Tilt: Mainframe is rigid mounted to boxed track frame at a two degree incline at infeed of machine. | Increases ground clearance at front of infeed providing more clearance on approach angles when tracking up hills, through creeks, and various other adverse terrain conditions.
