What standard features are included on Morbark horizontal grinders?
All Morbark Wood Hogs come standard with the Morbark Integrated Control System (MICS) to maximize production and engine efficiency; a laser-cut factory-balanced rotor for unsurpassed durability; and an aggressive feed wheel with an internal poclain drive that has no chains or sprockets for more torque and reduced maintenance.

The patent-pending VTECTION® Vibration Detection System monitors rotor vibration to reduce damage from contact with ungrindable objects or other causes of damaging vibration like an out-of-balance rotor, broken insert, or defective bearing. When coupled with Morbark's Break-Away Torque Limiter, dual hammermill protection - both mechanical and electrical - is achieved.

Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing wear parts (e.g., hammers, screens, and teeth), inspecting and lubricating moving parts, maintaining hydraulic systems, and ensuring the engine is in good working condition.
