01
25–45 against 19+ PTO hp
FH-BX62S: 25–45 PTO hp. WM-8H: 19 PTO hp minimum, no published maximum.
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.
WM-8H: the page states a 19-PTO-hp minimum, while a lower Specs bullet says 15 hp without a basis; the only published weight, 990 lb, is shipping weight.
