The model 1680 'Son of a Beast' is the ideal machine for small land clearing operations, municipalities, and tree services looking for an efficient way to dispose of brush, limbs, pallets, slab wood, Christmas trees and other tree waste on site. The 1680 is compact and can easily be manuvered from one location to
the next. It Features a 24" x 52" mill opening and can be equipped with a
wide array of engine options ranging from 160 to 325 horsepower.
The 1680 is also an excellent unit for tree services looking to turn
their unwanted chips into a usable end product. Chips can easily be
ground into a valuable mulch that can be used for a variety of
applications.
The model 1680 features a 26 tooth set-up allowing it to process brush, pallets, logs, and tree waste with ease. A chipper knife set-up can also be equipped on the 1680 allowing it to produce a dimensional, screened chip that can be used for fuel and other applications demanding a high quality chip.
A 10' long x 52" wide rubber belt infeed conveyor comes standard, with a heavy-duty steel conveyor available as an option. The 1680 rides on two 12,000 pound axles giving it a smooth, yet durable towing platform.
A 15' long x 48" wide discharge conveyor provides a total discharge height of 9'. A folding discharge conveyor can be ordered as an option, for those that want a higher discharge height to load top open chip trucks.
A tether remote control comes standard with the 1680 allowing the operator to control all grinding functions away from the unit. A radio remote is also available as an option so that an operator can control the unit from a loader feeding the grinder.
Below are a few more pictures of the 1680 grinding Christmas trees and logging debris.
