Default Horizontal grinders

Guys,
relatively new to the industry, but have been having working with alot of grinders recently (mostly Morbark). What are your thoughts on these size of grinders? - eg Morbark has a compact grinder that will handle a 20" log and clear 50-80m3 of material an hour (thats greenwaste/pallets or whatever).... (its a 2600 if you look on their website, Morbark, Inc. - Your Source for Wood Chippers and Grinders)

I think you best talk to a few companies that do this sort of work, they'd know for sure what is good and what sucks.

Up here they use the horizontal style a lot at the tips to mulch the stuff.

Bandit make one too, see if the company reps can give you some clients numbers etc so you can have a chat.

Ah ok, you see the reason I ask is that I work for with a dealer for Morbark - i havn't come on to tout my goods or anything, Ive just moved over to Australia from Ireland 2 months ago to start having never worked in the forestry/tree business before! So I just wanted to see what the folks at tree world thought about these type of grinders. They've specifically designed one for arborists and small landclearers to expand into - but wont talk about that unless Im asked!!
