Kubota BX1880 · PTO WOOD CHIPPERS

Kubota BX1880 wood chippers: three that start below 15 hp

At 13.7 PTO hp, the BX1880 is short of every PTO-rated chipper that starts at 15 hp. Three remain: Woodland Mills TFG55 (12–30 PTO hp), Wallenstein BX36S (12–30 engine hp) and Farmry WCAP5 (15–45 engine hp), which the BX1880’s 16.6 gross hp clears by 1.6.

The 12-hp chippers

Woodland Mills lists TFG55 at 12–30 PTO hp on its page and on p9 of the Rev B manual, but p11 of the same manual says 15–30. On 12, the BX1880 is inside by 1.7; on 15, it is 1.3 short. Ask Woodland Mills which applies. Wallenstein rates BX36S at 12–30 engine hp, so the BX1880’s 16.6 is inside. The comparison below sets the two side by side.

WCAP5 on engine power

Farmry’s WCAP5 manual specifies 15–45 engine hp, not PTO hp. The BX1880’s 16.6 gross hp is 1.6 inside. WCAP5 takes 5-inch fresh wood against TFG55’s 5 and BX36S’s 3.5, at 412 lb.

Lift and weight

Kubota lists 680 lb at 24 inches behind the pin. TFG55 is 346 lb, BX36S 395 and WCAP5 412, all well under. Front ballast still matters on a 1,404-lb tractor.

When a bigger BX makes sense

The BX2380 (17.7 PTO hp) and BX2680 (19.2) share the BX1880’s frame and 680-lb lift. The BX2680 clears WoodMaxx’s 19-hp minimum; the BX1880 clears none of the 15-hp PTO ratings.

THE SCREEN, WITH ITS LIMITS VISIBLE

Compare each configuration.

No pairing below is manufacturer-confirmed. “Preliminary” still requires implement limits, load center, ballast, hitch geometry and shaft checks.

Initial specification screen only. Scroll the table on small screens. Read the product page for every remaining check.
