I have no doubt I will love it. Was just overly venting frustration that I screwed up 😅. Since most of the stuff I’ll be chopping will be very soft, I anticipate zero problems at 4 to 5 inches based on reviews. Thanks!

:ROFLMAO: I will definitely do that! 🤣

I'm not sure where I go that, but I can't find the info on their website. If it is really just 80lbs, that is not good.... :mad::mad::mad: I thought I had been very thorough.... 😕 [ Edit: I found a video from WM that says it is 100lbs. Grrrrrrrr.... ]

I have one! Other than replacing those ridiculously expensive batteries, it's fantastic.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who responded with helpful comments. After all the comments and my other research, I changed my list and narrowed down my choices to the Woodmaxx MX-8800, the Woodmax MX-8600 and the Woodland Mills WC68. I ended up buying the WC68. A few of many reasons: 1. It...

Has anyone chipped California Pepper in their chippers? If so, any issues?

The extra weight on the back makes for a good point on stability. I've definitely had problems in the reverse with a full load of dirt -- bounce and side-to-side which I'm hoping spacers will help with. I think it's a 1/2 yard bucket (?) and I always have the brush hog on the back (about...

A HUGE thank you to everyone who responded. Very appreciated! My conclusions so far: 1. Wheel spacers are a must-have 2. A power feed is a must-have 3. A fully rotating chute is a must-have 4. A flat intake is a really nice-to-have 5. Since no one has said it will be a problem, I'm assuming...

I cut off everything that is bigger than 2.5 inches and that's what I hit with the brush hog. Everything else is either cut up for firewood or piled up for when we rent a chipper. I have way too much firewood already and we need to stay on top of fire mitigation, so it's time to upgrade.

The more I think about the rotating chute, the more I value I put on it. I had not thought of wind, so great point on that. And the tiny roads and rare flat spots make it very difficult to position the tractor to change discharge direction. On the upright chutes, that is definitely a concern...

Thanks for the reply. I have always had wheel weights. Dual wheels are not an option because of the narrow twisting roads. But I had never heard of wheel spacers. They sound like a really good option for me -- I think an additional 6 inches to a foot max would be fine. I found this video that...

Hi All -- Longtime lurker here finally making my first post! :) I have a Kubota L2550 tractor with 24hp at the PTO. I'm hoping to find a PTO chipper that fits my somewhat unusual needs. Help, please! :) My Kubota is quite tippy on our steep piece of property -- a mish-mash of little twisting...
