MX-8800 or WC68

WoodMaxx MX-8800 (8-inch, hydrostatic feed) and Woodland Mills WC68 (6-inch) both start at 20 PTO hp, 1 under the 2515. Both are far from their full-capacity lines (50+ and over 40). The comparison below sets them side by side.

One hp over

TYM gives the 2515R and 2515H one PTO figure, 21 hp. That is inside the 20-hp minimums with 1 to spare; ask the dealer whether the tractor on offer carries that rating, since a lower figure would drop WC68 and MX-8800.

Lift

TYM’s brochure lists 2,425 lb 24 inches behind the lift point. That is high for the power class; weight is unlikely to limit any chipper here. Compare it with the attachment’s complete weight including the PTO shaft, and add front ballast as the tractor manual directs.

THE SCREEN, WITH ITS LIMITS VISIBLE

Compare each configuration.

No pairing below is manufacturer-confirmed. “Preliminary” still requires implement limits, load center, ballast, hitch geometry and shaft checks.

Initial specification screen only. Scroll the table on small screens. Read the product page for every remaining check.
