The two-day programme featured a factory tour as well as equipment demos including the latest additions, the 3400XT Wood Hog horizontal grinder and the Morbark Pronar Trommel Screen.

Hosted at Morbark’s manufacturing and assembly facility in Winn, Michigan, the event included an extensive factory tour, networking opportunities as well as a comprehensive equipment demonstration of equipment for the forestry, biomass, recycling and tree care markets – a key feature of Morbark’s Demo Days and this year was no exception.
Celebrating its 60th anniversary this history was highlighted throughout the event with one of the first Eeger Beever brush chippers, built within the first six months of production in 1980, was refurbished and on display. Out in Morbark’s own in-woods demo “play-ground”, fifteen different grinders, chippers, trommel screens and boxer loaders were demonstrated.

The latter is the most recent edition launched earlier this year and one of its most important features is its standard width of 8’4″ (2.53 m), making it within the legal transport width in any country, no matter what engine is used. This model accommodates engines from 540 to 800 horsepower (402 to 596 kW), so it is ideal for a broad range of applications in a wide variety of markets worldwide.
According to Morbark, other key features are the longer infeed bed with sloped sides for improved operator sight lines and more efficient loading of material, as well as an extended platform between the hood and the engine, for better access to components for general maintenance or to change screens.

Available in four sizes, the Morbark Pronar mobile trommel screens are designed to work with a wide variety of materials, including soil, compost, municipal waste, coal, aggregate and biomass. Easy-to-use electronic controls allow the operator to tailor the operation parameters to the materials to be separated.
