Cardinal Equipment Introduces the New Peterson 3710E Horizontal Grinder in Ontario!

What a fantastic day we had at our recent Peterson 3710E Demonstration Day in Mono, Ontario.

Despite a little afternoon rain, the weather didn't dampen the excitement as customers from across Ontario joined the Cardinal Equipment and Astec/Peterson teams to experience the launch of this impressive new machine.

We were proud to showcase the all-new Peterson 3710E Horizontal Grinder, a versatile, high-performance grinder engineered to deliver greater mobility, efficiency, and productivity for today's demanding applications.

The 3710E made its official debut at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 and represents the next evolution in Peterson's proven grinder lineup. Designed with exceptional transportability, it can move easily between job sites without the need for special permits. Powered by a 772 HP Cat C18 engine, the 3710E offers increased processing capacity, an expanded screening area, and outstanding performance, all within a compact footprint built for productivity.

In addition to seeing the 3710E in action, attendees enjoyed a barbecue lunch, creating a great opportunity to connect with industry professionals, customers, and the Astec/Peterson team throughout the day.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success. We appreciate the support from the Astec team and all our customers who travelled from throughout Ontario to see the 3710E in action. We look forward to helping you discover how this powerful new grinder can make a difference in your operation.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Today, we hope you traded your hard hats for ball caps, job sites for backyards, and phone calls for fireworks.

To everyone enjoying a well earned break, and to those keeping the equipment running because the job can’t wait, we appreciate everything you do.

Have a safe holiday, enjoy the long weekend, and we’ll see you back in the seat soon.

Happy Canada Day from the Cardinal Equipment team! 🍁
