2025 Vermeer® Horizontal Grinders HG4000TX

HG4000TX highlights
  • A mid-sized grinder with aggressive performance and capacity
  • Robust build quality for confident longevity
  • Maintenance-friendly design optimizes serviceability
  • Equipped with Vermeer innovations to protect your investment and optimize efficiency

Features may include:

Productive and powerful
  • The Series III hard-faced duplex drum offers durability and convenient maintenance, with the ability to remove and replace single hammers and balance the drum externally.
  • With a feed opening of 60 in x 30 in (152.4 cm x 76.2) and robust infeed sidewalls that are double the strength of its predecessor, you can feed whole trees and other large material with less restriction and minimal operator interaction.
  • The feed roller is equipped with aggressive teeth, coupled with down pressure, that provide pull-in power and maintain control of the material being fed to help get the job done efficiently.
Intelligent operation
  • The intelligent feed system self-monitors the machine's engine speed, makes predictive adjustments and holds the engine at an optimal level, allowing you to spend more time feeding and less time adjusting settings.
  • Machine damage caused by metal contaminants entering the hammermill can be costly. The Vermeer Damage Defense system helps protect your machine by detecting certain metal contaminants.
  • An industry-leading, full-function, wireless remote control lets you, from the cab, adjust machine settings as conditions change, including control of the infeed settings, engine droop, conveyor height and more.
Jobsite mobility
  • Increased onsite mobility with the track drive system allows for jobsite flexibility and reduced material handling requirements to optimize labor.
Your access to MORE
  • The VermeerOne™ platform isn’t just a tool or platform. It’s an experience — one designed to simplify equipment management, empower users with real time data to make smarter decisions, and help maximize productivity and profitability.
Integrated options
  • The Vermeer productivity monitoring system provides real-time data on machine performance and allows you to track the volume of material processed by visualizing cubic yards per gallon of fuel.
  • The Vermeer coloring system, fully integrated into the grinder, reduces the number of machines required and minimizes handling of material, adding value to your end product. This system optimizes dye and water usage, minimizing your cost per yard.
