Farmer-Helper FH-BX62S vs Woodland Mills WC46: gravity feed or hydraulic feed between 25 and 30 PTO hp
Their ranges overlap only from 25 to 30 PTO hp. A John Deere 3038E (30 PTO hp) fits both; a KIOTI CK3520 manual (30.9) fits only FH-BX62S, and a Kubota L2501 gear (20.5) only WC46. Inside the overlap, the choice is larger gravity-fed material or controlled 4-inch hydraulic feed.

The differences that matter.
01
25–45 against 15–30 PTO hp
FH-BX62S: 25–45 PTO hp in the current manual. WC46: 15–30 PTO hp in its Rev C manual.
Above 30 PTO hp only FH-BX62S fits; under 25 only WC46 does.
FH-BX62S uses gravity / pinch-and-pull feed. WC46 has a self-contained hydraulic infeed with its own pump and tank; Woodland Mills says no tractor hydraulics are needed.
WC46 controls feed speed and direction; FH-BX62S relies on the rotor to pull material.
FH-BX62S: marketed as a 7-inch chipper, but the current manual gives 6.5 × 12-inch feed capacity and 25–45 PTO hp; older pages mention full capacity at 45, 50+ or 75 HP.
