WORKMASTER 40 wood chippers: the manual’s 29 hp changes WC46

Woodland Mills rates WC46 and TFG55 to 30 PTO hp, and the New Holland WORKMASTER 40 is over on its brochure ratings, 34.0 gear and 32.0 HST. On the operator manual’s 29.0 the HST tractor is inside. WC88’s 35 is out of reach either way.

WC46 or WM-8H

Woodland Mills WC46 (4-inch) stops at 30 PTO hp; WoodMaxx WM-8H (8-inch, hydraulic feed) starts at 19 with no maximum. The WORKMASTER 40 is over WC46 on its brochure ratings and inside WM-8H on any figure. The comparison below sets them side by side.

Three PTO figures

New Holland’s workbook and March 2025 brochure give 34.0 PTO hp (gear) and 32.0 (HST); its November 2023 operator manual lists 30.8 and 29.0 observed PTO hp. The site screens the brochure figures. Only the HST manual figure, 29.0, falls inside WC46’s and TFG55’s 30; ask New Holland which rating applies to the serial number on offer.

Lift

New Holland’s workbook and brochure lists 1,433 lb 24 inches behind the lift point. Compare it with the attachment’s complete weight including the PTO shaft; WoodMaxx FM-78H, the heaviest attachment here, is 968 lb.

Wallenstein hydraulic-feed BXR chippers

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 New Holland WORKMASTER 40’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.
