THE SHORT ANSWER

Is WC88 worth a closer look?

The step up from WC68 is useful when the larger throat solves a real wood-handling need. Its 900 lb published product weight and over-60-PTO-hp full-diameter/full-feed requirement make tractor capacity more decisive than the 8-inch label alone.

The seller confirms the exact setup, current price and delivery. No field test or manufacturer-confirmed pairing is claimed.

THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE

Know before you order.

  • The manufacturer states 35–100+ PTO hp. It does not give a finite upper limit. Confirm use above the stated reference range with Woodland Mills.
  • Full 8-inch logs at full feed speed require over 60 PTO hp, per the manufacturer; this differs from the 35 PTO hp operating minimum.
  • Use 540 rpm at the tractor PTO. The over-1,100 rpm figure describes the flywheel, not the tractor input.
  • Check the exact tractor implement-weight limits, lift geometry, front ballast and driveline length. No tractor pairing has been approved.
  • The page and manual describe different hopper-mouth heights; the 8 x 8-inch cutting throat is consistent. Confirm external geometry if clearance is critical.
