WC68 or WC88

Woodland Mills rates WC68 at 20–50 PTO hp (full feed over 40) and WC88 from 35 (full feed over 60). Both 2M.50 versions fit both, but neither reaches either full-feed line. The comparison below sets them side by side.

Between WCAP5 and BX72S

Farmry WCAP5 stops at 45 engine hp and Wallenstein BX72S starts at 50. The 2M.50’s 48.8 is between them, so neither fits; BX52S (22–55) does.

Category I & II

The 2M hitch takes Category 1 and 2 implements, so Category 1 chippers mount directly.

Lift

The spec sheet lists 3,086 lb 24 inches behind the lift point (the page shows 3,307 for the mechanical). WC88 at 900 lb is far under either.

Wallenstein hydraulic-feed BXR chippers

Wallenstein’s current pages rate the 5-inch BX52RI (30–55 engine hp, Category I) and 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 2M.50’s 48.8 engine hp is inside the BX52RI’s range on both the page and the manual. It is inside the BX72RI page’s 45–85 but under the 50 that the manual’s table gives for the BX72R, so ask Wallenstein which floor applies to the serial on offer. Its published lift at 24 inches, 3,086 lb, carries the 1,300-lb BX72RI with 1,786 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
