Farmry WCAP5 Pro vs Woodland Mills WC68: gravity feed to 45 PTO hp or hydraulic feed with a 40-hp full-feed line
WCAP5 Pro and WC68 both cover 20–45 PTO hp, so most mid-size compacts are inside both. The difference is what each does near 40 hp. Woodland Mills ties WC68’s full 6-inch logs at full feed to over 40 PTO hp; a KIOTI NS5310H meets that on its brochure figure (41.8) and misses it on its web figure (36.6). WCAP5 Pro is a lighter 5-inch gravity-feed chipper with no such condition.

The differences that matter.
01
15–45 against 20–50 PTO hp
Farmry’s WCAP5 Pro manual gives 15–45 PTO hp for Category 1 and 20–50 for Cat 1N. Woodland Mills rates WC68 at 20–50 PTO hp and ties full 6-inch logs at full feed to over 40.
Between 20 and 45 PTO hp a tractor is inside both. Near 40, WC68’s full-feed condition is the deciding line.
WCAP5 Pro feeds by gravity; its table lists hydraulic oil and flow as not applicable. WC68 feeds through a hydraulic roller with its own tank and belt-driven pump.
WC68’s feed can be slowed when the tractor is below its full-feed power; WCAP5 Pro has fewer parts.
