THE TRADEOFFS, EXPLAINED

Woodland Mills TFG55 vs WC68: gravity feed or hydraulic feed between 20 and 30 PTO hp

Woodland Mills’ two chippers overlap from 20 to 30 PTO hp. A Kubota L3302 gear (28 PTO hp) fits both; a Kubota L2501 HST (19) only TFG55; a KIOTI CK3520 manual (30.9) only WC68. WC68 adds hydraulic feed and 6-inch capacity for $1,035 more and 401 lb more on the hitch.
