Does anyone have a Woodmaxx WM-8H with 29 PTO HP?

the roller linkage did take some trial and error to figure out. the bar sits a bit lower than shown in the picture. I'm not sure if this can be adjusted, but it would be more useful if it was closer to the edge of the chute so you can hit it easier in an emergency.

How much does your speed adjust and how fast does the wheel turn at the highest speed? Mine is slower than what I have seen in videos for similar chippers. I am not sure if being low on hydraulic fluid would cause this.

Yes, the folding chute would be a huge plus. I am going to see if I can't modify my lower arms to work with the quick hitch. The base appears to be exactly the same as the woodmaxx, so it should be possible.

Overall I am happy, but I am hoping I can make it even better with some tweaking.

I haven’t played with the speed much yet- the dried pine I’m chipping seems to run through at full feed speed regardless of diameter-that may change when I get to chipping some of the greener limbs.

When running it at 19 pto hp, it was only good for small soft sticks. My point was that it would work, just not very well. The machine says 30 pto hp is required to make full use of it so 29 pto hp would be just fine.

I think 29 PTO HP will be fine for me since larger stuff is firewood anyway. I just need a way to clean up the limbs around the property and as I make trails. The rest will get stacked and dried for burning.

With that said, I still want to make sure my chipper is running to full capacity to make the work that much easier.
