Finally got a PTO chipper

[fruitcakesa]

I have been searching for one for last few years and this one showed up on marketplace a couple of days ago. The price was right so I immediately went over and bought it. It’s a beast Woodland Mills WC88.
So far I have run up to 6 inch logs through it and it really does a great job.

Good timing for me.

We treat out purchases like a business. Big purchases ($1000+) get a Capital Expenditure Plan and lots of research.

I'm putting together potential spending for next year and a PTO chipper is one under consideration.

Iirc, they make a twin flywheel version of some sizes.

Keep posting your thoughts, good and bad, as you break it in.

This machine was used when I got it but according to the last owner, it was used minimally. 2017 model year.
A little dusty and surface rusty but otherwise seems very solid. Worth the wait and price.

Congrats on finding a chipper that fit the bill for you I found one the same way 15 years ago. I have a lot of roadside with a young forest which makes for a lot of trimming. A chipper comes in handy. Good luck with your new to you WC88!!

GG, I was fortunate to be able to find one relatively near by, 1hr+. I’ll never run out of small wood to chip
