Massey Ferguson MF 4708 · PTO WOOD CHIPPERS
Wallenstein lists BX72S for 50–85 engine hp, and the Massey Ferguson MF 4708’s 80 rated hp is inside; its 85-hp maximum sits exactly at the ceiling. WoodMaxx’s four chippers list Category 1/2 and publish no maximum, so they fit as well.

| Chipper | Published requirement | On 67 PTO / 80 engine hp | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| WoodMaxx MX-9900 / MX-8800 / WM-8M / WM-8H | 19–25 PTO hp minimum; 50+ for full capacity; no maximum; Category 1/2 | Inside; 17 over the 50+ line | Fits |
| Wallenstein BX72S | 50–85 engine hp; Category I and II | Inside (5 under; exactly 85 on maximum) | Fits |
| Wallenstein BX102S | 80–120 engine hp; Category II | Exactly at the 80 minimum on rated hp (5 over on the 85 maximum) | Fits |
| Woodland Mills WC88 | 35 PTO hp minimum; Category 1 | Power inside; hitch mismatch | Excluded |
| Wallenstein BX72RI / BX102RI | 45–85 / 75–120 engine hp (page); hydraulic feed; 7-in. / 10-in. | BX72RI inside, BX102RI exactly at the manual’s 80 | Fits on page and manual; hydraulic remote or power pack |
| Farmry WCAP5 | 15–45 engine hp; Category 1/2 | Over | Excluded |
| All other chippers here | To 55 hp or less; Category 1 | Over and hitch mismatch | Excluded |
Wallenstein BX72S (7-inch) and WoodMaxx MX-8800 (8-inch, hydrostatic feed) both list Category 2. BX72S has a published 85-hp ceiling; MX-8800 lists 20 PTO hp minimum and full capacity at 50+. The comparison below sets them side by side.
Wallenstein’s 10-inch BX102S runs 80–120 engine hp on a Category II hitch only, gravity-fed, at 1,143 lb. The MF 4708’s 80 rated hp is exactly BX102S’s 80 minimum, while its 85-hp maximum rating is exactly BX72S’s ceiling, so both Wallenstein chippers screen with no margin; ask Wallenstein which engine figure each limit means. Confirm the pins, the PTO shaft for 540 or 1,000 rpm, and front ballast for its weight.
Massey Ferguson lists two engine figures: rated power at 2,200 rpm and a higher maximum at 2,000 rpm. This site screens the rated figure; where the maximum changes a result, the guide says so. At 80 rated hp the MF 4708 is 5 under BX72S’s ceiling; at its 85-hp maximum it is exactly on it. Ask Wallenstein in writing which engine figure its 85 refers to.
AGCO lists the MF 4700’s rear linkage as ASAE Category II with telescopic ball ends and a Category 2 drawbar clevis. Category 1-only attachments such as Woodland Mills WC88 and Land Pride FM2560 would need bushings or a quick hitch approved in writing; this site screens them out.
AGCO’s October 2025 sheet lists 4,850 lb 24 inches behind the lift point; the 2024 brochure’s 5,291 lb is recorded as a conflict. Every chipper and mower here weighs a fraction of either figure, so power and hitch decide the fit, not lift.
Wallenstein’s current pages rate the 7-inch BX72RI (45–85 engine hp, Category I and II) and the 10-inch BX102RI (75–120 engine hp, Category II). Two hydraulic rollers pull material in at a set rate, and P3 PULSE reverses them when the rotor slows; they need 3–6 / 4–8 gpm from a rear remote or Wallenstein’s PTO-driven power pack. The Massey Ferguson MF 4708’s 80 engine hp is inside the BX72RI’s range on both the page and the manual. It is inside the BX102RI’s range on both the page and the manual. Its published lift at 24 inches, 4,850 lb, carries the 1,950-lb BX102RI with 2,900 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
