THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Farmry WCAP5 PRO vs Woodland Mills WC46: 5-inch gravity or 4-inch hydraulic feed

Both start at 15 PTO hp. WCAP5 PRO runs to 45 and WC46 stops at 30, so a Kubota L3302 gear (28 PTO hp) fits both and a KIOTI CK4020 manual (34.8) only WCAP5 PRO. WCAP5 PRO takes larger material for $1,321 less; WC46 adds hydraulic feed control.
