Morbark Introduces Redesigned 4600XL Wood Hog

Morbark Inc., Winn, Mich., has introduced a redesigned version of its 4600XL Wood Hog.

The hammermill is 14 percent larger than its predecessor, increasing the tip swing up to 36 inches, and the infeed opening has been expanded to 60 inches.

The grinder has power options up to 860 hp.

The machine is programmed with Morbark’s Iquan System, which has a programming tool that allows the operator to quickly adjust feed systems from the control panel to obtain maximum production rates while keeping the engine load constant. The system is available with an optional satellite modem that provides a wireless link between the factory and machine and allows a factory service technician to access machine functions and diagnose problems.

The machine also comes standard with an adjustable fifth wheel pin, which allows weight transfers to accommodate state and highway road restrictions.

The redesigned 4600XL Wood Hog is also available as a track-mounted unit.
