In addition to selling grinding and chipping equipment Morbark, Winn, Mich., also manufactures the auxiliary equipment needed to make your business complete, according to the company.
Morbark offers two models of debris shears, the Model 60 and the Model 40. The Model 60 handles wood up to 60 inches in diameter and can split and shear material both in and out of the ground. The weld-on tips and blades are replaceable making maintenance quick and easy.
The Model 60 is rated for a carrier with a weight classification between 55,000 to 80,000 pounds. The more compact Model 40 is also equipped with a replaceable blade and tips, and rated for 30,000- to 50,000-pound carriers. This shear is operated from existing carrier hydraulic circuitry and no additional hydraulics are necessary.
Morbark brush rakes are designed with close bottom tines to allow the picking up and carrying of stumps, logs, brush, pallets, C & D material, regrind and more. Brush rakes are available with 11 or 13 tines. The rake design allows dirt to shake out through the bottom tines eliminating feeding large quantities of dirt into the grinder. This unit takes less than five minutes to attach to your front-end wheel loader with two hydraulic hoses providing power to the top tines. The brush rake allows the user to bring the material to the grinder, instead of bringing the grinder to the material.
Morbark’s latest addition to the attachment line-up is the Model 60 debris grapple. Two heavy-duty hydraulic motors with spur gears allow for 360 degree continuous rotation of the grapple. In addition to swiveling, the grapple pivots to the side making clean-up under a grinder easier. Users can just sweep the grapple underneath the infeed bed to push or pull material out. This adaptable attachment allows feeding from any position or side with less travel time.
Lucky Robison, vice president of research and development at Morbark says, “The use of Morbark attachments can greatly increase the efficiency of landclearing and other grinding operations. And the replaceable parts on these units make maintenance easy.”
