Product Features
CAPACITY
The WC88 operates on tractors with 35 to 100+ HP at the PTO. It has a large 59 cm x 69 cm (23” x 27”) infeed hopper opening that tapers down to a 20 cm x 20 cm (8” x 8”) opening where the 20 cm (8") diameter roller grabs the branches and feeds them through the chipper. Branches as small as 6 mm (¼”) diameter and as large as 20 cm (8”) diameter can be fed through the WC88. To chip full 20 cm (8”) diameter logs at full infeed speed, a tractor with over 60 HP at the PTO is required.
HYDRAULIC INFEED SYSTEM
Branches are pulled into the WC88 with the 20 cm (8") diameter infeed roller. The roller is hydraulically driven by the chipper's self-contained hydraulic system, and the hydraulic pump is belt driven from the main flywheel shaft. The infeed roller is adjustable in direction and speed, making it easy to feed branches of all shapes and sizes. The roller down pressure may be adjusted via two large springs, ensuring it grabs branches and easily pulls them in, eliminating the need for manual feeding.
FLYWHEEL
The dynamically balanced 61 cm (24”) diameter, 2.5 cm (1”) thick solid steel flywheel runs on a 5 cm (2”) diameter shaft, supported by 2 industrial and greaseable flanged bearings. It features four CNC-machined pockets to hold the reversible blades. The flywheel features four large fan blade paddles that spin at over 1,100 RPM, ensuring maximum airflow.
FLYWHEEL LOCKING PIN
No more unsafe blade changes with the Woodland Mills flywheel locking pin. The WC88 features a flywheel locking pin that makes blade changes or flywheel maintenance convenient and safe. The pin simply fits into a series of holes that are positioned so every blade can be easily accessed while being changed or reversed.
DRIVE BELT SYSTEM
The drive belt system is encased by a 6 mm (¼”) thick steel guard which can quickly be rotated forward to access the drive system. Simply pull the pin at the top and the guard folds forward, providing quick and complete access to the entire drive system. The PTO shaft (included with chipper) connects the tractor to the chipper's lower 50 mm (2”) shaft. Four heavy-duty cogged BX series drive belts run up to the flywheel main shaft. These belts are standard off-the-shelf replacement parts. They are automatically kept in proper tension via the self-tensioning system. This system dramatically increases belt life, reduces belt slippage and saves the user from manually adjusting for belt tension. The tensioning system can easily be pulled back out of the way, to allow the belts to be changed out quickly.
REVERSIBLE CHIPPER BLADES
The WC88 chipper utilizes four high-quality hardened steel reversible chipper blades. These blades are 90 degrees apart, and can be reversed to take advantage of having two cutting edges on each blade. The blades are held onto the flywheel with four countersunk M10 bolts and locking nuts. Blades can be changed very quickly, thanks to the clamshell flywheel housing design. Simply undo one bolt and the upper flywheel housing rotates open, providing full access to the flywheel and chipper blades.
FOLDING INFEED CHUTE
The infeed chute on the WC88 wood chipper has a large 61 cm x 71 cm (24” x 28”) opening, making it easy to feed branches with multiple limbs effortlessly. The infeed chute can also be folded up to decrease the footprint of the chipper during transport or storage.
INFEED OPENING
The opening in the flywheel housing is 20 cm x 20 cm (8” x 8”), making it capable of accepting branches with several limbs. This reduces the need to trim branches down before feeding them into the chipper.
ADJUSTABLE CHIPPER BASE
The WC88 chipper has a heavy-duty chipper base made of 6 mm (1/4″) thick laser cut steel plates. This base can be adjusted so the PTO shaft sits at 40 cm to 55 cm (15-5/8″ to 21-5/8″) off the ground to suit various tractor sizes. Simply hook the chipper up to the tractor and lift it up so it is suspended in the air. The four bolts that hold the base to the chipper housing can be removed and the base can be raised or lowered to suit any tractor's configuration.
DISCHARGE CHUTE
The discharge chute was designed to rotate 360 degrees by simply rotating it with the two handles to the desired angle. This makes it possible to direct the wood chips in any direction, regardless of the location of the chipper. The end of the chute stands at 1.7 m (66”) off the ground, making it easy to direct the wood chips into the back of a truck or trailer. A rotating deflector is located at the end of the discharge chute, allowing further control of the location of the wood chips. Simply point it straight for maximum distance or angled down to deflect the chips directly down to the ground or into a trailer.
ADJUSTABLE CHAINSAW HOLDER
The WC88 includes a chainsaw holder that is constructed with adjustable nylon slides to fit various chainsaw bar widths, giving you a convenient spot to keep your chainsaw with your wood chipper.
PTO SHAFT INCLUDED
The PTO shaft, complete with shear pin, is included with the WC88 chipper.
ASSEMBLY
The WC88 chipper arrives in a steel crate and can be up and running in as little as two hours. The infeed chute and discharge chute are removed during shipping to eliminate the possibility of damage. The chipper will require 20L (5 gallons) of ISO 32 hydraulic oil in the tank, which is not included, but can be purchased at most farm or hardware stores. Lastly, attach the PTO shaft that comes included and trim it to length for your tractor, as per the manual if required.
