Chipper Woodmaxx vs Jinma chipper

Received the WM-8H last week. Does a great job.

I also own a Woodmaxx WM-8H and have put large piles of brush through it. Hydraulic in feed works well and I leave it in max speed. I could have used the tractor's hydraulics as well but they don't offer this as an option.

Largest job is feeding the wood to it as it sucks it in quite fast, and dealing with the piles if wood chips. The chips are quite fine and easy to shovel, scoop up.

Update:
I took down 5 medium trees and chipped up the branches in short order. What a great way to get rid of them in lieu of burning brush piles when the conditions are right. I posted in another thread that the only problem is the drive belt for the hydraulic feed roller loosened up on me which was about a 10 min fix.

Just received my woodmaxx hydraulic feed chipper this past weekend. Ran about a dozen old limbs thru it and it works better than expected. I looked at several options before going with woodmaxx. For the cost and getting the 3 year warranty, I feel like this machine offered the best bang for the buck. Plan to give it a good workout in the next several days.

I've been running my WoodMaxx WM-8H for 9 months, and ran it all winter with the weather permitted. A few things to remember grease everything, often. Change the hydro filter often.

Most of what my wife (in the picture) and I run through the chipper is invasive honeysuckle and vine. With the stump end being 2.5-3" and the brush end being yards wide. Sometimes it a wrestling match to get the brush to go through but it usually feeds in perfectly. The chips you see there were the result of about an hours worth of steady feeding.

Tractor is a Kubota L3800 HST (roughly 30hp at PTO).

If you are feeding hardwood in the 4 to 6" range that have dried out you cant feed them at max speed or it will cause belts to slip so I usually just slow the feed down.

Great report! I don't use mine in the winter here in Illinois - same model. Looking forward to springtime! Why didn't you choose the orange model? Mine makes that many chips in about an hour. I'd say your wife needs to pick up the pace a bit!!!!

At the time we ordered ours they didn't have orange in stock and was a week out from paint (if i remember correctly).

The wife was always waiting on me and a friend to get the brush cut with chain saws. Yes the feeder works faster than two guys with saws.

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.
