Chipper WoodMaxx WM-8H vs Woodland Mills WC86

Nice lady with a lift gate. Glad I called ahead. Thinking of adding wheels to the steel pallet it was delivered on so that I can wheel it around the garage when it's off the tractor.

I did exactly that. Adding wheels to the metal pallet makes it easy to move the chipper around but be aware - it is heavy, especially for one person.

I will be adding wheels to my shipping crate as well for storage.

Got about 4 hours on the chipper now and I noticed this am that one of my belts broke and two others were still on the pulley but twisted sideways..not sure what would have caused that 😞

Give them a call and see what they have to say. I have found their customer service folks to be very responsive.

I ended up building a wooden platform with recessed wheels. Adding wheels to the steel pallet would have been about 10" high with wheels which is about the height of the bottom of the chipper at full lift on my tractor. I was barely able to move it on my garage floor by myself so I think I may have to step up to a larger diameter wheel.

WC68? I thought it only had one belt to drive the hydraulic feeder.

It is only one belt for the 6 inch model. I have the 8 inch model wc88
