...discharge conveyor, hydraulically powered swing-away anvil and bolt-on wear liner. Did somebody say "features"? This 51-ft.-long, 74,000-lb. $489,000 monster lives to "process large volumes of wood waste to a fine uniform mulch," according to a sign at its 10-ft.-wide front bumper. And, baby, that includes every kind of wood waste up to full-length logs--as much as 150 tons an hour. Clearly, this ain't a tea party.
