Every Woodland Mills woodchipper model, ranked and reviewed — with the clear verdict on which one to actually buy.
Woodland Mills is a PTO-focused Canadian brand with a devoted compact-tractor following. The lineup is smaller than Woodmaxx (three PTO models) but each is well-targeted: the WC46 for subcompact tractors, the WC68 for 30–40 HP compact tractors (their most popular model), and the WC88 for mid-frame tractors needing hydraulic-feed 8-inch capacity.
Woodland Mills earns a reputation on two things: flywheel mass (heavy for the category) and a 5-year warranty on all three chippers.

6-inch PTO chipper and one of the most popular 30–40 HP tractor chippers in North America.
8-inch hydraulic-feed PTO chipper — the Woodland Mills step up for owners who outgrow the WC68.
The WC46 and WC68 are sized specifically for 15–65 HP compact and subcompact tractors — a zone where Woodmaxx’s MX-Series pushes higher HP ranges and MechMaxx doesn’t compete with a PTO option. The WC68’s heavy flywheel also means sustained chipping speed on hardwood, which matters more than engine HP once you’re past the minimum threshold.
At 30 HP, three chippers deserve a look: Woodland Mills WC68 (no hydraulic feed, $2,999), Woodmaxx MX-8600 (no hydraulic feed, $3,195), and Woodmaxx WM-8H (hydraulic feed, $4,795).
The WC68 wins on price and simplicity. The MX-8600 wins on warranty (7 years versus 5). The WM-8H wins on capability if you chip forked or crooked wood — hydraulic feed is a meaningful upgrade, not just marketing.
