Massey Ferguson MF 2E.60 · PTO WOOD CHIPPERS

Massey Ferguson MF 2E.60 wood chippers: 0.3 hp over or exactly at 45, depending on the document

The 2E.60 HST’s PTO figure is 45.3 on the October 2025 spec sheet and 45.0 on the web page. That is either 0.3 over or exactly at the 45-PTO-hp ceilings of Farmer-Helper FH-BX62S and Farmry WCAP5 Pro (Category 1). The Mech tractor, at 48.0 or 48.8, is over them on both. Wallenstein BX72S, which starts at 50 engine hp, is inside by 7.3 on the 57.3-hp engine.

THE DECISION IN NUMBERS

Chipper screens on the 2E.60: PTO 48.0 / 45.3 (sheet), 48.8 / 45.0 (web); 57.3 engine hp

Tractor reference: MF 2E.60, Mech / HST; Cat 1 & 2 (table); 2,425 lb at 24 in. WCAP5 Pro’s 15–45 range applies to its Category 1 configuration; its manual gives 20–50 PTO hp for Cat 1N.

Sources for this decision table (14)

45.3 or 45.0

Massey Ferguson’s 2E spec sheet lists the 2E.60 HST at 45.3 PTO hp, the 2860E’s figure. The current web page lists 45.0. Betstco’s FH-BX62S manual and Farmry’s WCAP5 Pro manual (Category 1) both stop at 45 PTO hp. On the sheet, the HST is 0.3 over both; on the web, exactly at them. Neither is a margin to rely on. Ask the attachment maker to confirm the pairing in writing, quoting the figure the dealer gives.

WCAP5 Pro’s second range

Farmry’s WCAP5 Pro manual gives 15–45 PTO hp for Category 1 mounting and 20–50 for Cat 1N on a separate page. Every 2E.60 figure, Mech or HST, is inside 20–50. Farmry’s product table gives 15–45 without a basis, so ask Farmry which range applies to the hitch configuration you will use. The comparison below sets WCAP5 Pro against BX72S, which the 2E.60 clears on engine power.

BX72S in, BX52S out

Wallenstein rates BX52S at 22–55 engine hp and BX72S at 50–85. The 2E.60’s 57.3 rated hp is 2.3 over the first and 7.3 inside the second, on Massey Ferguson’s unnamed standard. A net figure lower than 57.3 by about 2–4 hp, typical of the gross-to-net gap on Kubota’s MX sheet, would still be inside BX72S.

WC68 near its ceiling on the Mech tractor

WC68 is rated 20–50 PTO hp. The Mech 2E.60 is 2.0 under that ceiling on the sheet and 1.2 under on the web; the HST is 4.7 or 5.0 under. Every figure clears Woodland Mills’ over-40 condition for full 6-inch logs at full feed. Lift is 2,425 lb at 24 inches, well above the retained chipper weights.

Wallenstein hydraulic-feed BXR chippers

Wallenstein’s current pages rate 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 Massey Ferguson MF 2E.60’s 57.3 engine hp is inside the BX72RI’s range on both the page and the manual. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,425 lb, carries the 1,300-lb BX72RI with 1,125 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
