WINN, MICHIGAN, (November 22, 2004) -- Introducing the Morbark Model 6600 Wood Hog on tracks, a dynamic package of wood waste processing power with a state-of-the-art undercarriage.  This machine, a power-packed, durable grinder with self-propelled mobility, is an exciting addition to the Morbark horizontal grinder line-up, offering wood waste processors another important equipment option.

Clearing, grinding, site-prep and right-of-way contractors are among those who will want to consider adding the Morbark Model 6600 Track Wood Hog to their equipment mix. This machine is uniquely designed to move and grind simultaneously, allowing for more production per hour.  With remote control of all machine functions, the 6600 on tracks can be easily operated from the cab of an excavator or loader, feeding the material to the grinder with ease.

With engine options ranging from 860-1,000 HP, this machine is powerful enough to handle very demanding grinding applications, making quick work of green waste, logs, brush, stumps and other wood waste.  In addition, the Caterpillar 330L undercarriage is state-of-the-art, providing a full 18 inches of ground clearance and a wide stance for steep grades.

Many innovative design features also make the 6600 Track Hog a productive, durable choice for those considering a horizontal grinder.  The Morbark Iqan Feed System is a truly variable system that automatically adjusts feed rates, pressures and feed wheel positions to optimize production and efficiency.  The 42” diameter by 67” hammermill, equipped with heavy-duty 28” diameter rotors, is laser cut, making the mill components more durable with more precise tolerances.  A wireless radio remote control, 11-HP air compressor, electronic RPM sensor and emergency shut down system, and a full break away torque limiter are also standard features on this track hog.

Morbark, Inc., headquartered in Winn, Michigan, has always been known for its innovative, quality-made equipment.  The 6600 Track Wood Hog is a versatile addition to the Morbark line-up of durable wood waste processing equipment, raising the bar once again.
