LS MT340HC · PTO WOOD CHIPPERS
Woodland Mills rates WC68 at 20–50 PTO hp and WoodMaxx WM-8M from 19, so the LS MT340HC’s 32.0 PTO hp is inside both with room. Farmry WCAP5 and WCAP5 Pro, Farmer-Helper FH-BX and Wallenstein BX52S fit; the 30-hp chippers do not.

|---|---|---|---|
| Woodland Mills WC68 | 20–50 PTO hp; over 40 for full feed | Inside; 8 short of full feed | Fits |
| WoodMaxx WM-8M / WM-8H / MX-8800 / MX-9900 | 19–25 PTO hp minimum | Inside | Fits |
| Farmry WCAP5 | 15–45 engine hp | Inside (5 under) | Fits |
| Farmry WCAP5 Pro; Farmer-Helper FH-BX42 / FH-BX62S | To 45 hp | Inside | Fits |
| Wallenstein BX52S | 22–55 engine hp | Inside | Fits |
| Wallenstein BX52RI | 30–55 engine hp (page); hydraulic feed; 5-in. | BX52RI exactly at the manual’s 40 | Fits on page and manual; hydraulic remote or power pack |
| Woodland Mills WC46 / TFG55 | To 30 PTO hp | 2 over | Excluded |
| Woodland Mills WC88 | 35 PTO hp minimum | 3 short | Excluded |
Woodland Mills WC68 (6-inch, hydraulic feed, 747 lb) and WoodMaxx WM-8M (8-inch, mechanical feed, 775 lb) both fit; neither reaches its full-capacity line at 32 PTO hp. The comparison below sets them side by side.
The MT340HC is sold with a cab only. Check that a raised chipper hopper or discharge chute clears the rear window and that the controls can be reached from the seat.
LS’s September 2025 MT335/MT340 owner manual lists 1,433 lb 24 inches behind the lift point (1,808 lb at the link ends), the same as the MT2E. Every attachment that passes the power screen is under it; add front ballast for the heavier ones.
Woodland Mills WC46 and TFG55 stop at 30 PTO hp; the MT340HC is 2 over. The smaller MT335H, at 28.0, fits them.
Wallenstein’s current pages rate the 5-inch BX52RI (30–55 engine hp, Category I). 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 LS MT340HC’s 40 engine hp is inside the BX52RI’s range on both the page and the manual. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,433 lb, carries the 845-lb BX52RI with 588 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.

My tractor has about 33 PTO hp, short of WC88’s 35: should I buy the 6-inch WC68 or the 8-inch WM-8M?
