WORKMASTER 40C wood chippers: WC88 on gear only

Woodland Mills WC88 needs 35 PTO hp, and the New Holland WORKMASTER 40C clears it in gear at 35.9 but is 0.2 short in HST at 34.8. WoodMaxx’s chippers, WC68, Farmry WCAP5 and Wallenstein BX52S fit either version.

WC88 or WM-8H

Woodland Mills WC88 and WoodMaxx WM-8H are both 8-inch hydraulic-feed chippers. WC88 needs 35 PTO hp, which only the gear 40C meets; WM-8H needs 19. The comparison below sets them side by side.

0.2 hp short

New Holland rates the HST 40C at 34.8 PTO hp, 0.2 under WC88’s published 35. The site screens it out; if WC88 is the chipper you want, the gear 40C at 35.9 clears it, or ask Woodland Mills in writing about the HST tractor.

Full capacity

Neither version reaches WC88’s over-60 or WoodMaxx’s 50+ full-capacity lines, or WC68’s over-40 line. Expect to feed large or hard wood more slowly than the maker’s top capacity.

Lift

New Holland’s February 2026 brochure lists 1,596 lb 24 inches behind the ball ends (2,067 lb at the ends) for both models. WoodMaxx FM-78H, the heaviest attachment here at 968 lb, is under it; check the quoted attachment’s weight with its shaft and the front ballast the dealer recommends.

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 40C’s 40 engine hp is inside the BX52RI’s range on both the page and the manual. Its published lift at 24 inches, 1,596 lb, carries the 845-lb BX52RI with 751 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
