THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE
Know before you order.
- Hydraulic infeed without tractor rear remotes. The maker requires over 20 PTO HP to process full 4-inch logs at full feed speed, so a tractor near the minimum needs slower feeding.
- Use current 2024 manual weight, not older manuals: older WC46 references show 550 lb; older WC68 references show 710 lb.
- Operating range and full-diameter/full-feed power threshold are distinct specifications.
- Confirm exact tractor model, transmission, model year and manual implement limits.
- Check three-point geometry, actual lift capacity at the implement load center, front ballast and axle limits.
- Check PTO shaft length, overlap, shielding and clearance across permitted hitch travel; quick hitches change geometry.
- The current product page checked November 7, 2026 lists 648 lb shipping weight; the retained 2024 Rev C manual lists 693 lb. Ask for the actual order’s packaged weight and dimensions. Neither shipping figure replaces the retained product weight or a complete operating-load confirmation.
