Every Woodland Mills woodchipper model, ranked and reviewed — with the clear verdict on which one to actually buy.
Woodland Mills' first gravity-feed PTO chipper — 5-inch capacity with patented Twin Flywheel Technology, sized for subcompact tractors.
Woodland Mills is the sawmill company that built one of the most-recommended PTO chipper lineups in the affordable segment. The WC-Series — WC46, WC68, and WC88 — covers 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch capacities, all with hydraulic infeed rollers and the same 3-year warranty. Direct-to-consumer pricing; no dealer network; six warehouses across North America, Europe, and Australia.
The lineup expanded in 2024–2025. We now cover the gravity-feed TFG55 PTO($2,415) — the brand’s first non-hydraulic chipper — alongside the three WC-Series hydraulic models. Woodland Mills also sells a patented Twin Flywheel TF-Serieshydraulic line (TF46 PRO, TF68 PRO, TF810 PRO) at a $700–$1,500 premium over the WC-Series equivalents; we don’t yet have full reviews of those models.

Woodland Mills was founded in 2009 by Josh Malcolm and Neil Bramley, two mechanical engineers and childhood friends in Port Perry, Ontario (Durham Region, about 70 km northeast of Toronto). The company started with the HM126 portable sawmill in 2010 — still in production today — and built a reputation among small-property owners and homesteaders for engineering-led equipment at direct-to-consumer pricing. The wood chipper line came in 2014–2015 as a natural extension of the forestry-equipment catalog.
The company is privately held, still founder-led, and explicitly states its manufacturing approach on its About page: products are “designed in Ontario, Canada by Woodland Mills Engineers” and “manufactured in China by a supplier that exclusively works with Woodland Mills designers.” This is a deliberate cost-and-quality strategy similar to Woodmaxx — distinct from Wallenstein, which manufactures in Canada and prices accordingly higher.
Distribution runs through six warehouses: head office and showroom in Port Perry, Canadian distribution from Vaughan, US East from Buffalo NY, US West from Portland OR, plus Sweden (EU) and Sydney (APAC). Most US orders ship from Buffalo with roughly two-day delivery on in-stock items. Direct-to-consumer only — no dealer network — which is explicitly framed as “eliminating unnecessary markups and reinvesting savings into product quality.”
Beyond chippers, Woodland Mills also sells portable sawmills (HM122, HM126, HM130MAX, HM136MAX), stump grinders (WG24 PRO, WG28 PRO), a log splitter (LS218), utility trailers, log arches, and sharpeners. The chipper line is large enough to anchor the brand, but the HM126 sawmill is arguably still the emotional core of the company — many owners buy both. Their 50,000+ member owner Facebook group is one of the most active in the forestry-equipment category.
Through 2014–2024, the chipper lineup was three models: WC46 (4″), WC68 (6″), WC88 (8″), all hydraulic feed. In late 2023 Woodland Mills introduced the TF810 PRO — the first chipper anywhere with their patented Twin Flywheel design, two counter-rotating flywheels that share the chipping load and reduce vibration. In fall 2024 they added the TFG55 PTO, their first-ever gravity-feed chipper, sized for subcompact tractors at $2,415. The November 2025 press release confirmed the full TF-Series rollout: TF46 PRO, TF68 PRO, TFG55 PTO, TFG55 GAS.
For now, the WC-Series is the core hydraulic-feed lineup at compact-tractor pricing and is what we cover here. If you want the Twin Flywheel premium tier or the gravity-feed entry point, both exist — start at woodlandmills.com directly while we build out coverage of the new models.
Until sometime in 2025, Woodland Mills was widely cited as offering a 5-year warranty across the WC-Series. The brand’s warranty page today (verified 2026-05-12) lists a 3-year warranty from ship date for all wood chippers, sawmills, stump grinders, log splitters, and trailers. The 5-year claim still appears in older blog posts, comparison articles, and forum threads — it no longer reflects current policy. Verify on woodlandmills.com/warranty before purchase.
At 3 years, Woodland Mills now matches the Woodmaxx WM-Series (3 yrs) and remains ahead of MechMaxx (1–2 yrs). The Woodmaxx MX-Series (7 yrs) is the only meaningfully longer warranty in the affordable PTO segment. For buyers prioritizing long-horizon ownership, that’s the trade-off to weigh — Woodland Mills wins on price and feed-system parity; Woodmaxx MX-Series wins on warranty length.
Question 1: What’s your tractor’s PTO HP?
Question 2: How important is warranty length?
If 7 years matters more than $1,300, look at the Woodmaxx MX-Series (MX-8500G+ $2,990 at 5″; MX-8600 $4,790 at 6″; MX-8800 $6,225 at 8″). If 3 years is acceptable, Woodland Mills is meaningfully cheaper at every tier and the feed-system parity (all hydraulic) means you’re not giving anything up on day-to-day operation.
Beyond product specs — what the actual buying experience looks like: ordering, delivery, customer service, returns, and warranty claims.
Woodland Mills has the strongest community reputation of any brand we cover — the WC68 has 1,400+ owner reviews and active forum threads on every major tractor community. The 30-day return policy is the most generous, the 3-year warranty is solid, and customer service is generally well-reviewed. The BBB complaints on their profile are almost entirely about their furniture line, not chippers. For compact-tractor owners buying their first chipper, Woodland Mills is the safest company-level bet.
