FIELD GUIDE

John Deere 4052M Heavy Duty wood chippers: WC68 full feed

Woodland Mills ties full WC68 feed to over 40 PTO hp, and the John Deere 4052M Heavy Duty, a hydrostatic 4M with a Category 1/2 hitch, has 40.8. Woodland Mills WC88, WoodMaxx’s chippers, Farmer-Helper FH-BX, Farmry WCAP5 Pro and Wallenstein BX52S and BX72S screen too.

Read the guide →FIELD GUIDE

John Deere 4052M Heavy Duty flail mowers: FM-78 or FM2572

WoodMaxx rates FM-78 at 30–65 PTO hp and lists Category 1 and 2, so the John Deere 4052M Heavy Duty’s 40.8 PTO hp and Category 1/2 hitch are inside. Land Pride lists FM2572 from 42 hp and FM2584 from 49 without a basis: its 51.5-hp engine clears both, its PTO rating neither.
