Read articles →An owner-operator's real-world pairing of the Woodland Mills WC68 chipper with a B2601, directly addressing the spec mismatch (the B2601 falls just under the recommended 20-25 HP minimum). Goes unusually deep: assembly walkthrough, feeder control mechanism, variable-speed hydraulic drive, flywheel and blade design, and blade longevity after extended use. Includes an honest cautionary story about accidentally chipping his own chainsaw. Best for B2601 owners weighing this specific chipper.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from his own 33-acre property, with no apparent commercial affiliation to Woodland Mills or Kubota.
Yes. Although the B2601's 19 HP is just under the recommended 20-25 HP minimum, the owner says it handles the WC68 flawlessly, only stalling once when not at full PTO RPM.
The forward, neutral, reverse control bar can be hit to stop the machine, and if hit hard enough it reverses to back the material off.
The WC68 has a 24-inch flywheel versus 18 inches on the WC46, both three-quarter-inch steel, with about a 177-pound weight difference; the WC68 is over 800 pounds.
After running quite a bit of wood through it, the blades don't have as much as a nick, and they are double-sided so you can flip them for more hours of use.
