for easy screen changes. Another popular feature of the machine is the ability to stand up at full height in the machine when changing tips. “The tips are held on by a single bolt, you can stand up full height in there while you’re chang-ing tips. It’s a pretty comfortable job,” Gilmour says. The 6800CT is 60 in. wide, right from the infeed right to the discharge, so there are no choke points. “That allows mate-rial to feed nice and easy the whole way through until it gets off the discharge belt,” Gilmour says. This unit features high-strength rotors for enhanced protection. The 40-in. di-ameter by 60-in. wide upturn rotor has a forged, thick, high-strength core with 24 weld-on hammers. The offset helix pattern fits the full width of the rotor, distributing material across the hammers for more ef-ficiency. The unit is remote controlled and has transport dimensions of 11 ft.-1in. (width) by 12 ft. (height) by 43 ft.-2 in. (length) and weighs approximately 86,500 lb. CBI was also busy showcasing its dig-ital set of solutions for its grinders. One is an app where the user can take a picture on their smartphone of a part and have that part number recognized, which can be a valuable resource for both dealers and customers, says Marco Piovano, director of Terex MP Digital Solutions. Piovano discussed the MyTerex Cus-tomer Fleet App, a telematics solution accessed through the user’s smartphone. MyTerex gives the user remote access to machine information, notifications and performance dashboards. The MyTerex. com dealer and customer portal also al-lows the user to access documents, reports and digital solutions. MORBARK Morbark debuted its Next Gen 6400XT Wood Hog horizontal grinder with trans-port system at the show. The Morbak Transport Dolly designed for the Net Gen 6400XT was designed for simple trans-portation. It features an independent air-ride suspension and remote-controlled front and rear hydraulic locks. A single operator is able to attach the transport dol-ly in a quick and efficient manner. This unit is designed to eliminate the need for a specialized Low-Boy trailer. “The 6400XT is the best in its class for processing wood and organic waste with power and reliability,” stated Michael Stanton, vice-president of sales and mar-keting at Morbark. “The new Next Gen 6400XT, scheduled for fourth quarter 2023 release, builds on that legacy.” The latest version of the Next Gen 6400XT is built with an enhanced frame design, which allows for the Transport Dolly attachment while keeping machine width to three metres. Additional features include an au-tomatic hammermill drive-belt tension system; and a PT Tech Hydraulic Torque Limiter, which provides driveline protec-tion and ease of setting adjustments based on grinding application. • CBI 6800CT 6800CT The CBI 6800 Horizontal Grinder has been specifically designed for land clearing companies and yard waste processors who demand high-volume throughput and maximum reliability.
