Thanks for the video Josh. I’m ready to buy! Please give me your opinion on something. My Kubota (B2650HSD) is 19.5 HP at the PTO shaft. I’m certain that this model , WC46 would work awesomely, but I’m considering the WC68, which I realize would be best suited for a more powerful machine. But all things being equal, (identical tractors, identical 4” limbs) would there be any advantage of one model over the other? Would my tractor chip a 4” limb equally well with either model? My thought is that with the wc68 I could slow down the feed rate a bit for the occasional larger limbs. This topic has been floating around the internet so hopefully you can chime in on this. Thanks!
Both chippers are direct drive, difference being the flywheels, the 46 has a slightly smaller flywheel so it cuts closer to the center of rotation and would cut that 4” branch a little easier then the 68 cutting further out. That being said, if you can effectively lift the weight of the 68 and move it around your property on the tractor model you have, then yes by slowing it down you could make a 68 work with it’s extra capacity to get that 4” branch through.
