Every Farmry woodchipper model, ranked and reviewed — with the clear verdict on which one to actually buy.
Farmry's base 5-inch gravity-feed PTO chipper on a 25-inch four-blade disc. Rated 5 inches in green wood and 4 inches in dry hardwood. Sold at the same URL as the older WCAP130.
Farmry sells tractor attachments direct from Statesville, North Carolina — chippers, stump grinders, flail mowers, backhoes, and snow blowers. Chippers are a minority of that catalog, and only five of the seven models with published manuals are currently purchasable. There is no dealer network and no Amazon storefront.
Two things make Farmry worth a look. It undercuts the market on price per inch of capacity, and it handles the buying experience better than the other value-import brand in this category — MechMaxx, whose Trustpilot score is 2.9 against Farmry’s 4.4 and whose BBB rating is an “F”. We break that matchup down model by model in Farmry vs MechMaxx. Two things should give you pause: a 12-month warranty, the shortest of any brand we cover, and no independent owner reports for these chippers at all.
If you own a 15–45 HP compact tractor, start with the best PTO wood chipper by tractor HP to see where Farmry sits against Woodland Mills and Woodmaxx.
Farmry's base 5-inch gravity-feed PTO chipper on a 25-inch four-blade disc. Rated 5 inches in green wood and 4 inches in dry hardwood. Sold at the same URL as the older WCAP130.
Best forCompact-tractor owners on a hard budget who want 5-inch green-wood capacity and accept a 12-month warranty and no service network.
Marketed as the WCAP5 PRO. A speed-increasing gearbox doubles disc speed to 1,080 RPM for roughly 25% more throughput — bought by giving up a 25-inch four-blade disc for a 22-inch two-blade one.
Farmry's only gas chipper above 2 inches. A 13.5 HP DUCAR engine with electric start drives a 22-inch disc at 1,200 RPM, with a four-way discharge chute and an adjustable axle.
A 2-inch triple-inlet drum chipper on a 16.7-inch twin-blade drum turning 3,600 RPM. Closer to a yard shredder than a branch chipper, and priced accordingly.
The cheapest machine Farmry sells. A 2-inch twin-blade drum chipper on a small 9.1-inch drum with a dual V-belt drive and a narrow 3.9 × 4.1 inch throat.
Overseas, and Farmry says so itself. Its Our Story page states that the company is “built to last: overseas production partners with proven agricultural experience,” and summarises its own position as “global manufacturing, proudly supported in the USA.” Equipment is stocked, inspected, and shipped from warehouses in North Carolina and California.
The component evidence is consistent with Chinese manufacturing and is checkable from Farmry’s own parts catalog. Bearings are specified to GB/T standards — the Chinese national standard — blades are 4CrSi, a Chinese chromium-silicon steel grade, and the engines are DUCAR and Rato, both Chinese manufacturers. Forum consensus reaches the same place more bluntly, describing Farmry as an import operation in the same mould as Titan and MechMaxx.
Worth being precise about one thing: posters often assume these brands share a single factory. We found no evidence of a specific shared factory for Farmry, so we are not going to assert one. The import pattern is the same; the factory is unverified.
Note also that Farmry publicly disowns farmry-usa.shop as an unauthorized site using its name and logo. Order from farmry.com only.
Yes, and it rates better than the obvious comparison. Farmry holds 4.4 out of 5 from 472 Trustpilot reviews on a claimed profile, with no BBB complaint record we could find. MechMaxx, the other value-import brand we cover, sits at 2.9 on Trustpilot with a BBB rating of “F” and nine complaints. On buying experience alone, Farmry is the stronger of the two.
The recurring complaint is stock accuracy rather than quality. Several reviewers describe an item showing as in stock at order time and then taking two weeks or more to ship, and typically dock a star for it while praising the machine itself. Quoted delivery is 11–14 business days.
Customer service splits by individual rather than by policy. Multiple reviewers call it “top notch” with rapid replies, and one repeat chipper buyer had Farmry techs fabricate a custom quick-hitch bracket for him. Others describe poor handling of a lost order while still naming the rep who eventually helped. Farmry does route pre-sale, logistics, and after-sales to separate addresses, which is better structured than most brands this size.
Every Farmry machine carries 12 months of coverage. That is the shortest of any brand we cover: Woodland Mills gives 3 years, Wallenstein 5, and the Woodmaxx MX-Series 7. Extended coverage is offered as a paid add-on.
Length is only half the issue. With no dealer network, there is nobody local to perform a warranty repair. Parts ship from the NC and CA warehouses, and to Farmry’s credit they are stocked and individually priced rather than sold only as assemblies — a blade kit is $39.50, a GATES belt pair $89, a clutch assembly $69, a gearbox $219. But one Trustpilot owner with a pinhole leak in a backhoe hydraulic reservoir could not get Farmry to locate anyone able to do the repair.
So budget for self-service. If you already wrench on your own equipment, this is a manageable trade for the price. If you want someone to stand behind the machine in year three, buy a brand with a dealer or a longer warranty.
This catches people out when cross-shopping, so it is worth stating plainly. The WCAP5 is sold at a URL containing wcap130, and Farmry’s bundle listings still call it a WCAP130. Farmry confirms the two are the same machine: “WCAP5 is simply the updated model designation for the WCAP130 series,” with identical design, capacity, and performance.
Separately, the machine titled WCAP5 PRO appears in Farmry’s spec tables as the CP85 and lives at a cp85 URL. One machine, three names. If you are comparing a WCAP130 quote against a WCAP5 listing, or a CP85 against a WCAP5 PRO, you are looking at one product in each case.
There is also a WCPH6 — a 6-inch hydraulic-feed PTO chipper for 20–75 HP tractors, listed at $2,999 in Farmry’s own comparison table, described across their blog, and supported by a published manual and three live spare-part listings. It has no reachable product page, and we could not order it as of September 2026. It would be the most competitive chipper Farmry sells, so it is worth asking about, but treat the price as unconfirmed.
There are effectively no independent owner reports for any Farmry chipper. Woodland Mills has 25-plus detailed WC68 threads on TractorByNet alone; Farmry has one thread asking whether anyone has experience with the brand at all. What discussion exists covers their flail mowers, and the themes there are mixed — owners praising value and reporting no failures, alongside concerns about thin sheet metal and a cantilevered lift-pin design.
Farmry also publishes no flywheel or disc weight for any chipper. Disc diameter and thickness are given, but without mass we cannot compare momentum against a Woodland Mills or Woodmaxx machine, and we are not going to estimate it.
The return policy is the least documented of any brand here. Farmry links a Return & Refund Policy from the footer but states no window, restocking fee, or RMA process on its product pages. Get the terms in writing before ordering.
Our ratings on these machines therefore rest on published specification and company-level evidence, not on durability data. We will revisit as owner reports appear.
Beyond product specs — what the actual buying experience looks like: ordering, delivery, customer service, returns, and warranty claims.
Farmry is the value-import brand that handles the buying experience best. Its 4.4/5 Trustpilot score across 472 reviews and clean BBB record are materially better than MechMaxx's 2.9 and BBB 'F', it discloses its overseas manufacturing on its own site rather than obscuring it, and it stocks and individually prices consumables from two US warehouses. The weaknesses are structural rather than reputational: a 12-month warranty that is the shortest in the category, no dealer network and therefore no real repair pathway, an unpublished return policy, and recurring stock-accuracy problems. Buy Farmry if the budget is the binding constraint and you service your own equipment. If you need someone to stand behind the machine in three years, buy Woodland Mills or Woodmaxx.
