Chipper woodmaxx mx9900

massey21 · Oct 1, 2017

I'm looking to buy a chipper and came across woodmaxx, I really like the mx9900 and I have not found any negitive reviews yet, is there anyone on here that has one and has any thing to say about them. Thanks

You must be interested in it - you posted in two related threads and started a third! :laughing:

Buy it - you won't be sorry.

My only complaint is that it took 2 or 3 weeks longer to get mine than originally anticipated. Part of that was due to weather they had in NY at the time, so I'll cut them some slack. And, I wasn't really ready for it until it arrived anyway.

It is a tight fit on my Quick Hitch, but it does work on one.

Buy the US made PTO also. It's high quality.

ha, yeah thanks, trying to find something negitive about it but all seems great. Just curious as to why it is cheaper than a smaller name brand. Thanks for the feed back

does the hydrostatic feed act like my tractor if your trying to grapple and roll you lose power because everything uses the same system, and how long have you owned yours?

Not sure which name brand you're talking about. If it's Wallenstein, Bearcat or Frontier - all of those brands have dealers, all of whom must make some money. WoodMaxx sells direct so no middle-man markup. I owned a Bearcat and it was a fine, US made machine. But the WoodMaxx is also a fine, US made machine and I think the quality is comparable.

The only "negative" I can come up with that the mounting pins are a little tight for my QuickHitch "arms". Not a biggie and it works fine on the QH, but sometimes it doesn't want to come off the QH when I'm done with it.

I got mine back in April or May. I haven't seen any issues with power loss on the chipper. If you're feeding something huge, you just slow down the feed so the flywheel doesn't slow down. The hydraulic system on the chipper is totally self contained, so it doesn't rely on anything other than the PTO from your tractor.

You didn't ask about this, but I'll share anyway - I chose the 9900 over the 8800 primarily due to the adjustable legs and the fact that you can fold up the input chute. I like the smaller footprint of the larger machine as my storage space is at a premium here. I also liked the fact that the 9900 has 4 knives and the 8800 only has two.
