| Largest mill opening with durable infeed system. | This allows the unit to be able to process not only greater volumes of material, but also larger product that is usually reserved for tub grinders. |
| Loadout conveyor | A large loadout conveyor allows contractors to be able to process greater volumes of material with less spillage or plugging while remote operation allows the flexibility in placing material. |
| Dual planetary feed roller drive | This feature provides more pulling power and reliability than a single planetary drive |
| Undermill conveyor | A wide single-belt design eliminates the typical transition area between the loadout conveyor and undermill conveyor, reducing chances of material bridging. |
| Four infeed settings | Preset settings help reduce operator training time as well as control consistency in end-product size specifications. |
| Clean jobsite | While most grinders need to be moved often and the area cleaned out underneath, the overlapping conveyors on the HG8000 reduce spillage and decrease time spent on cleanup. |
