Woodland Mills WC68 Wood Chipper Review 

I was going to purchase a WC68 before watching your video. After watching your video, I can't wait to order mine! Thank You for showing the ins and out of the chipper! Good work!! Keep making fun videos!

Enjoyed your video. Love the wood chipping outfit!

A very functional machine. I’m thinking of buying one, probably the next model up as I think/hope even though I would not put bigger branches in, it’s probably a heavy duty machine that can handle more. My tractor is rated at around 45hp at the PTO. I need wood chips on my farm for mulch and currently buy them. Yeah I once helped an arborist chip branches using a big chipper. I fed in a branch and was knocked by the branch once the feeder grabbed it.

Thanks for the vid. Appreciate the real world demo and honesty. This model is on my wish list, looking forward to the day i can purchase one.

Good morning chad. OMG, I see Smokey followed you and Molly to the site. She is unbelievable, love her.

I just got mine yesterday. It is a beast like you said.

Harold & Sandi, Morganton NC WE have one and love it. We power it with our very good looking 1957 John Deere 620 tractor. It has way more power then needed to run this machine.

Thank you, I’ll give it a try

I have this unit and love it. It has a few engineering flaws that I could nitpick but overall for the price it’s great. I run this with a John Deere 2038r and that tractor is more than enough power. If the wood is green you’d probably get a 6” piece through it but I’ve found in general that a larger dry piece of hardwood will very likely cause you to shear the safety bolt. I will break the shear pin on the chipper shaft before the tractor would ever come close to bogging down. Ask me how I know…

Nice.....thanks for the review. Obviously, you are happy with it. I'm thinking about getting one as I'm a bit sick of my old clanger (which doesn't have a reverse either so it's a wee bit sketchy). I've been using chippers for a while now and I've had my fair share of getting whacked, spanked and fingers crushed by timber twisting or flicking as you describe. Hopefully, you have learned by now but you should feed to one side and then immediately walk past the hopper (to either the left or right depending on how you feed it and where the chute is pointing). Then you either wait (until the majority of the branch is through or circle around to keep clear. Watching it won't stop it jamming. If it jams, deal with it and repeat. Deadwood is far worse than green for spanking you. Greets from Australia

Great vid, sorry I went orange (Kubota) and yes will be buying this rig soon. Good stuff, cheers. And no mulching of the pets!

Nice job. Thanks for sharing. Becky from KC

I could make a living using this gear on local ranches out here.🐸🍺🔪🔥

Good safety information

great info thanks

Great demo. I need to get me a tractor

I have a sawmill do you think it will hold up to chipping the slabs? Say 10 logs a day? Just the outside slabs. For compost. It will be pine. We will burn the hardwood of course.

Is this chipper adjustable? Can you make it make smaller chips? I know commercial units you can change chips size but who has 250 grand for a chipper. Thanks for the review.

Thanks!

Great video and much better than others with more views. Do you fee like you have enough PTO? Do you think more would even matter?

I had the same problem with mine. Wood etc seems to get caught on the edges of the discharge chute. I open and close mine a couple of times and clean it up. Have not had any problems since.

I have a John Deere 3046R tractor and im interested in the same model wood chipper you have. The problem is I cant run the PTO unless I am sitting in the seat inside the tractor. Im just wondering if you had the same problem and if so, is there a way you got around that problem?

I purchased one of these and it chips great but vibration constantly causes the infeed control arm to disengage the feed. Did you experience this?

Awesommmmme! 😎

I have the same chipper, it's a nice unit for the price point, but the infeed roller is nothing like more expensive options (which have a top and bottom roller). Small parts of branches, especially from dead trees, often jam the infeed roller (at least on mine), when this happens you need to put the roller into reverse and then forward again. Is it better than manual feeding, yes, but can get quite frustrating. I'm considering replacing with a Wallenstein.

does the chipper come with the PTO shaft? Why did you not chip anything larger than 1to 1-1/2"

The BIG issue I have with mine is whenever I run branches with leaves, the chute clogs. I've tried adjusting the infeed, but chute still clogs.... Very frustrating...

I have the JD 3032R. How did you disengage the PTO safety seat feature to allow the chipper to run while you’re out of the driver’s seat?

👍

Logs?! Not really. But good safety tips. Ive rented similar chippers- got the hell beat out of me.

I own one. It is not all that good for branches with a lot of leaves. The leaves clog up the feeder. The problem is that it has to much distance between the feed wheel and the blade. Nothing pushes leaves through the blades. You have to run the feeder in reverse to get the leaves back out the hopper. Then remove them by hand. I had one from China before and the feed roller was close the blades worked perfect. The problem with it was getting to the blades to sharpen or replace them. That is why I bought the woodland mills.

Notice how they run branches with no leaves. If your branches have leaves not so good.

make sure your critters keep a safe distance!
