Equipped with a powerful Cat C32 engine and aggressive teeth on the top roller, Tigercat's new 6900 Grinder can handle a wide variety of materials, from logs, tree limbs and brush, to waste material and more. The grinder's durable construction ensures longevity and reliable performance even in the most demanding conditions.

Operators will appreciate the intuitive control panel, which offers straight forward operation and easy adjustments to optimize processing efficiency. The machine features remote control capabilities and a user-friendly 25 cm (10 in) display screen for monitoring the machine and adjusting its functions, for easy operation and on-site mobility.

Tigercat’s 6900 Grinder has a built-in service mode that allows all machine functions required for service to be actuated without the need to start the engine, so the engine is always off for any service functions. During this service/maintenance mode, an auxiliary electric pump powers the top feed roll, both the feed and discharge conveyors, grate frame extend and retract, and virtually every other function except for the track drives for safer, quieter maintenance routines, fuel savings and reduced engine hours.

Maintenance becomes effortless with convenient service access provided:

• The split hog box opens over the centre for complete access to the rotor and screens.
• The anvil and screens can be hydraulically retracted.
• The single discharge conveyor is open at the bottom for seamless operation and easy maintenance.
• All lubrication points area remotely located for access via ground or maintenance platform locations.
• A tool storage area is positioned on the machine's side, which can be hydraulically raised and lowered for added convenience. This removes the need for anybody doing maintenance, to carry items up a ladder.
• Each machine is supplied with a Milwaukee three quarter impact wrench, blower and charger

A very well thought out machine regarding safety, convenience and accessibility for maintenance and servicing.

This carries through to the operation and design of the machine when in action. Adequate belt and ground clearance offer benefits in muddy terrain and on uneven surfaces. The 6900 model features a distinctive tilting frame that pivots on the undercarriage, enabling operators to stack materials higher and adjust the infeed angle as needed. This flexibility also allows operators to navigate rough terrain and modify the pivot for increased ground clearance or to reach heights necessary for loading products into trucks.

An optional large diameter magnetic head pulley is available to effectively remove metal from the end product and protect the machine. An additional protection and safety measure is the impact detection system that has a series of actions that mitigate damage. It is operated by anaccelerometer that triggers the retracting of the grate frame and reversing of the infeed when it detects a particular impact. This action creates an opening for the trapped metal to be released. In the case when the object is too large to be released and causes another impact, shear bolts enable the grate frame to retract even more. Finally, there are two shear pins that will disengage on the two sections of the grate frame as a result of another impact.

Whether used in forestry, landscaping, or waste management, the 6900grinder is a versatile and indispensable tool that helps professionals get the job done with precision and speed. The Tigercat 6900 Grinder’s carefully planned design, safeguards both the users and the machine, ultimately ensuring the protection of your bottom line.
