Chipper Woodmaxx vs Jinma chipper

[330T]

yeah, very cool photo.

Thanks,

a bit of advice for anyone with a woodmaxx. order the extra set of blades. They are reversible but having an extra set lets you remove and install a new set then take your time putting a new edge on the other set of blades. A power grinder is not advisable good old file is the best method.

Anything bigger than 2 inch diameter is firewood to me.

I was about to pull the trigger on the WoodMax when i saw a remark about making sure your tractor will lift it. I checked the weight and it is 950lbs and that was more than listed for my BX25 so I went looking again and found a used chipper on C/L . Only a 4" but the throat is much wider so brush is not a problem. I just ran a bunch of 4" white pine I lost in the ice storm through and it worked great.

Ryan,
Looks like you found a good buy that works with your tractor. Good luck with the chipper!

I have a WoodMax 8" chipper that has only about 10 hours on it, that I want to sell. I want to get a manure collector for my tractor, that is why I'm selling the chipper. Not a scratch on it, blades still sharp. Paid $2,865, will sell for $2200. You pay shipping.

What is the location of your chipper?

I'm not the person that that you posted to, but I sent you a PM. My neighbor has a very nice Pequea/Frontier chipper for sale. Located about 1.5 hours from you, outside of Dayton. More money, but super high, made in the USA quality! Check your Private Messages.

Thought I'd give this thread a bump. I got my Woodmaxx chipper a wm8m a few weeks ago. I've been quite impressed what it will handle. My 4310 hst is probably close to 25hp and it handles the unit well. It will suck in small trees whole with the proper trimming (gotta watch out for any stiff wide Y sections). It also seems to handle the smaller brush quite well. Just shove the small stuff in the feeder and keep filling till it grabs. I thought the tractor was going to stall on a few of the bigger logs I put though it but I think it was just the sound of the blades smacking off larger chuncks / chips. The thing comes in a angle iron metal crate which I cut up to build a custom hitch to pull the chip wagon around. You can see it here:

This post is for those with smaller tractors that are unsure if the WM 8H will work with your tractor. Well I have a kubota B3200 and I just ran my WM 8H and it ran like a champ! The biggest I feed it was about 6" chunks and it gobbled them up with no problem. I have about 23HP at the PTO which is less than the min recommend. I think if you don't push it to the 8" diameter then you should be fine. So far I am really impressed with this chippers ability for the price. Time will tell. The instructions need some improvement but over all who can really complain at this price.

In addition after several days at wondering what where these two large flat left over pieces it finally came to me. The new chippers now ship with skies! Yes that's right no more worrying that the vibration will cause your chipper to sink. Just wish that had at least thrown in a sheet of paper mentioning what they were for.

Ah, the skies the limit!

Skis and skies

Just a quick entry to differentiate between the similar spellings of skis and skies: the former go on your feet, the latter is up above.

Skis is both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it is what you wear when you go skiing: He put on his skis and headed cross country. As a verb, it is the present tense of “to ski”: She skis very well for someone who never tried before. Because ski ends in a vowel, just the letter “s” needs to be added.

Skies, however, is the plural form of “sky”: The wide African skies have attracted explorers and travellers for centuries.

I was browsing from a different computer this morning, so didn't have all my bookmarks.
Searching for "PTO chippers" brought up quite a few look-alikes - look a lot like the WoodMaxx, just different paint and PRICE.

OBVIOUSLY WoodMaxx isn't the ONLY importer of these, they probably do little more than add their stickers, as do their competition.
Same old same old I guess, Dodge/Mitsubishi Ford/Mazda JD/Kukje

Example;
PTO Wood Chipper with Hydraulic Power Feed
about $250 UNDER the woodmaxx price.

I have NOTHING against Woodmaxx, Jinma, or anyone else.
Just pointing out that the product APPEARS to be somewhat generic and there is some price competition out there.

current now, there are only two factory produce this model in China. One copy another. I m keeping watching this model always these years. I know who produce it. My only suggestion is: BEFORE you first time to use it, Fulfill 26L enough hydraulic into tank, otherwise its roller may not turn because some air may get into pump.

If you buy it, don't forget to share some photo with us, we are willing to watch that.:laughing:

Good info here as im wantibg to order one. Does anyone have the mechanical feed one.

Got the WM8H on Sept. 3. I drive it using a Kubota MX5000 w/ 44 hp at the pto. We can't feed the thing fast enough. Love it so far. Have a lot of stuff to clear once it cools off some down here in SC.

No, I didn't get the mechanical feed model. Seemed well worth the extra $$$ for the hydraulics. It makes chipping easier, which is a good thing? I can definitely say that I am quite pleased with this chipper. A friend of mine laughed when I told him I had bought it. But after he saw it and ran some branches through, he said he was also impressed and changed his opinion. Sure, it isn't an industrial / heavy-duty piece of equipment but it does the "job" for me. Cooler weather is not far off and then we will be chipping a lot of stuff again.

you made a good choice, I bought many chippers from woodmaxx chipper factory, they are the best, comparing with the others which I bought.

After using the WM8h for a while, and going over the machine, the sets crews that hold the bearing collars on the infeed rollers were loose. Didn't look like much locktite were applied. Took them out, applied some blue locktite, and retightened. Other than that, it works flawlessly.

 

[CanuckPT]

Great thread here - my wife is convince we need a chipper so I'm thinking I'll strike while the iron is hot!! The WM-8H really seems like the way to go.

I've owned my Woodmax 8H for about a year now. Great machine, no problems.
Running it with a NH 45D tractor (45) HP. Tractor doesn't know the chipper is doing it's
Job when running
Anything over 4 inches is saved for the wood stove all else goes through the chipper. Chips
Make great landscape mulch and poultry litter. Spent poultry litter goes to the compost pile.
Compost goes to the garden. Garden goes to the freezer. Closed loop.
