| 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. |
| Duplex Drum | The duplex drum cutting system offers optimum cutting performance and simplified maintenance. The reversible hammers and cutter blocks offer nearly double the life of single-sided designs. |
| 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. |
| Tracked Undercarriage | This fully mobile unit allows the operator the ability to efficiently and effectively move machine around the jobsite. Tracks provide increased traction in unstable ground conditions providing access to remote areas, transport across obstacles such as creeks, ditches, soft sandy or wet soil conditions, and inclines. |
| Drum Drive Belt Tensioner | Precise adjustment and alignment are easy in a fraction of the time over grease gun and small grease cylinders reducing maintenance and service costs. |
| Optional Abrasion-resistant Mill Liners | Keeping critical machine structure protected is easy since each individual liner can be replaced when its wear limit is reached. |
| Screen Hoist | Operators can save time and complete screen changes without additional support equipment. |
| Replaceable Anvil | The wear surface and anvil are easy to maintain or replace. |
| 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. |
