WC88 or FH-BX62S

Woodland Mills WC88 (8-inch, hydraulic feed, 900 lb) starts at 35 PTO hp; Farmer-Helper FH-BX62S (6-inch) runs 25–45. The 45C fits both. The comparison below sets them side by side.

WC68’s 40-hp line

Woodland Mills ties WC68’s full 6-inch feed to over 40 PTO hp. Neither 45C version reaches it; expect a slower feed on the largest logs.

Exactly at WCAP5

Farmry rates WCAP5 on engine horsepower, 15–45. The 45C is exactly at the maximum with no margin.

Which lift figure

Case IH lists 2,756 lb at 24 inches; New Holland gives 2,116 lb at 24 inches for the matching Boomer 45. WC88’s 900 lb is under both.

Wallenstein hydraulic-feed BXR chippers

Wallenstein’s current pages rate the 5-inch BX52RI (30–55 engine hp, Category I) and the 7-inch BX72RI (45–85 engine hp, Category I and II). Two hydraulic rollers pull material in at a set rate, and P3 PULSE reverses them when the rotor slows; they need 3–6 gpm from a rear remote or Wallenstein’s PTO-driven power pack. The Case IH Farmall 45C’s 45 engine hp is inside the BX52RI’s range on both the page and the manual. It is inside the BX72RI page’s 45–85 but under the 50 that the manual’s table gives for the BX72R, so ask Wallenstein which floor applies to the serial on offer. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,756 lb, carries the 1,300-lb BX72RI with 1,456 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
