This video covers the use and my thoughts on the Woodland Mills WC68 6″ PTO Wood Chipper (#0002353) and how well I like using it around our small family farm.
Got our chipper 2 weeks ago. We chipped 17 huge lealand cypress trees. Some dead and some live. And they were giant. The chipper ate them up. The cypress are very sappy so we learned to not run the green leafy parts through as it could gum up the blades. Went from a mountain of piled up branches and all thats left is a pickup truck bed load of tops. We will let them turn brown and then run them. Definately adjust the feed roller pressure relief up all the way in. I also followed the sugestion to set the roller height adjustment screws up higher to allow larger size pieces to pass through. My final opinion is that this WC68 chipper is a beast and built like a tank. We got quotes of ten thousand to have a tree service remove this row of trees. We spent thirty two hundred on the chipper including shipping from Buffalo to middle tennessee. And we get to keep the chipper forever. We are totaly impressed. Cant say enough good things about it. Grest price and arrived in one week and the fedx freight truck dropped it right in front of the barn. It was such a great experience and i very highly recomend woodland mills. They did exactly everything they said in there adverts and it was the best equipment investment we have made so far. Our kubota 3430 runs it like a champ. 25 thumbs up!

Turn your pressure relief valve for rollers up it makes a big difference
Thank you for doing the video. This helps out a lot.
Glad to help. I found one other review using a smaller Kubota and it really helped with my purchase choice.
one of the best chipper video's, Thanks. Good to see the working end, and how you store it.
Glad it was helpful!
