Oh it's the greatest!

I have the same chipper over a year now. Love it. A trick I have learned with the larger pieces. Make your cuts on these at an angle and you can use it it to slip under the roller teeth and it grabs nicely. I feed whole scrub trees 3.5" it and it with suck the whole 15 to 25 feet of tree in.

SMART!

Three point attachments are an addition for sure. Started with needing a tractor so here comes a new L3560 , then yep need a 72 inch brush hog , then a box blade , man basket , woodland stump grinder , woodland 6 inch chipper then why not add a woodland 26 mill to the mix. And of course add a place to store everything. And yes somehow I'm still married.lol Trick is let the wife have fun as well. Great video everything I've brought from Woodland mills has been great. Customer service is excellent.

Omg it is! And I can't see how the stump grinder ISNT going to be just as good as the chipper.

I have a 1025r love the wc46 also love the split fire 4003 don’t know which one yet hyd feed vs speed both evenly priced

I'd never buy a chipper without a feeder ever. That said, the hopper size is great on the split fire. I looked at both VERY hard, after the GWT vids and decided that the infeed was more important to me. Don't think you would go wrong with either.

I wonder if you adjusted the spring tension on the self feed how it would perform? I bet you would not need to push as hard (saving your hands) and the branches would self feed just fine. Try it out and let us know, great purchase, I wanna be you when I grow up🤗.

So I have been messing with it. I reached out to Woodland Mills and they gave me a couple of different "settings" for the springs I can use. Its definitely better now. Thanks for watching!

I totally want one! Well made, higher end features, value, and who doesn't wanna use the raw power of machinery to destroy tree limbs!

Great video! I didn’t quit get your comment on the 46 v 68 in regards to HP. I’ve got a 33 HP tractor that I’d like to buy one of these two for. I want to easily go thru 4” material but I want to make sure I get the best match for my Kubota.

My 2025 has roughly 18.5 pto HP. The 46 needs a min of 15hp (max 30hp). The 68 needs a min of 20hp (max 50). COULD the 2025 run the 68? Yeah. But I'd be asking 2 pieces of equipment to run with HP that it wasn't designed for.

@@JohnWCH thanks. I just got a message from WM and their staff agrees with you. Better to run the WC46 on my 30HP machine than the WC68.

I just bought the 68 for my Kioti w/ almost 19 hp @ the PTO. I’m only chipping fur and pine, and burn anything larger than 4”. WH said it would be fine. I suspect they are correct. I don’t think these numbers are cast in stone.

OK get out of my head! I was just thinking of getting this or the WC68 for my 2025R!

Tis the season for chippers! I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Good video, I have been checking out wood chippers and there are several videos on utube for your 4”and the 6”. In these demos they’re did not have any problem feeding into the feed roller. Perhaps there is some adjustment you can make. I am with you as to wood size, once it gets to 4” it is fire wood. I am in envy of you as I still have the HF type chipper and it sucks. Enjoy you new best friend

or am i just honest to a fault????

I have the WC68, it's a nice unit for the price point, but the infeed roller is nothing like more expensive options (which have a top and bottom roller). Small parts of branches, especially from dead trees, often jam the infeed roller (at least on mine), when this happens you need to put the roller into reverse and then forward again. Is it better than manual feeding, yes, but can get quite frustrating. I'm considering replacing with a Wallenstein.

I have that issue as well but rarely. It doesn't bother me as much because I just think back to the torture that was that little homeowner jobby from HF.

I like the chipper but it seems you have to force the tree into the feeder. Shouldn’t it just feed without your involvement? I have a Might Mac tow behind, 3.5”. I am considering a PTO powered chipper. Thank you for the video. Great job. BTW I have a 2025R too.

In the beginning, without adjusting the springs, it was a LOT tougher to feed it (as seen in this vid). Now it's much easier to feed. It's still working great!

I have a 2025r. JD says pto hp is 17. Think this 68 would run right? For the $200 difference, I'd rather have the bigger capabilities. Nit sure if there is much of a difference.

My thought process was bigger capacity, the more I wouldn't be able to control myself and throw bigger things in. I have, and will in the future, stall the 2025r with 4in logs (the capacity of the 48). Will it run a 68? Sure. Will it run a 68 with a larger log, closer to the "bigger capabilities" of the 68? No. Chance. In. Heaven.

Biggest thing about size the bigger the indeed the better for irregular shaped Wood don't have to feed big wood. Hydrostatic feed is something interesting on woodmaxx spin on filter only 2 quarts.
