THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE
Know before you order.
- Current page identifies 19 PTO hp minimum; a lower Specs bullet says 15 hp without basis. Retain 19 for screening and ask WoodMaxx to resolve the discrepancy.
- Manufacturer introduction claims 4-inch hardwood or 6-inch softwood at 19 PTO hp and full 8-inch capacity at 50 PTO hp. These are manufacturer claims, not tests; 50 is not a published maximum tractor rating.
- A finite maximum PTO horsepower was not found. Null maximum does not mean unlimited power is approved.
- Use 540 rpm tractor PTO. The 1,120 rpm figure is flywheel speed.
- The linked manual gives 6.5 gallons on assembly p20 and 7 gallons on maintenance p29. The page also pairs 38 L with 7 gallons inconsistently. Do not select a convenient value; obtain corrected fill instructions for the delivered machine.
- No tractor pairing has been approved. Confirm hitch geometry, rear load, front ballast and shaft length.

- Hydraulics
- Self-contained pump and dual feed motors; no tractor hydraulic connection required. The linked manual gives conflicting hydraulic fill quantities: 6.5 gallons in assembly and 7 in maintenance.
