FIELD GUIDE

LS MT226E wood chippers: gear clears WoodMaxx’s 19 hp, HST does not

The gear MT226E’s 19.2 PTO hp clears the 19-hp minimum on WoodMaxx’s 8-inch WM-8H and WM-8M by 0.2. The hydrostatic MT226HE, at 17.1, is 1.9 short. Both run the 15-hp-class chippers and Wallenstein BX52S on their 24.6 engine hp, and both miss the 20-hp WC68 and MX-8800.
