Last week I took delivery of the WM-8H chipper, and after assembling and putting the unit through it's inaugural run chipping a pile of gnarly maple branches and moving on to some nasty hawthorne trees I'm totally satisfied with my investment. Your owners manual is straight forward and the assembly was trouble free. The unit runs smooth as glass and is well balanced. The aggressive hydraulic feed is amazing requiring no need to prune side branches.

Right Choice

I purchased my chipper with a neighbor, and we spent the better part of 2 months researching 7 different chippers after finally deciding on the WM-8H.The machine arrived nicely packaged and had no shipping damage. I was kept informed of shipping and delivery date so I knew when the machine would arrive so I could arrange for unloading. Assembly took about 2 hours with two people following the well documented instructions. I have used it to chip up the brush from a whole line of volunteer Elm and Boxelder trees growing underneath the power lines on the property. The hydraulic feed system does a nice job of feeding large, irregular branches into the chipper without much additional effort from me. I use the discharge chute to blow chips into my truck bed. To date I have chipped 3 pickup loads of chips and haven’t had to touch the blades yet other than to check them for sharpness. It appears we made the right choice for machine performance and value.

In early Feb. 2013 I purchased the WoodMaxx WM-8H. It came more than well packed as there wasn't a scratch on it. It was easily assembled. Thus far I've chipped over a dozen pickup loads and haven't had a problem. It is truly a pleasure to use. I've used professional chippers before and they have nothing over the WoodMaxx. As a matter of fact, the WoodMaxx has some features they didn't such as the feed assist bar. When chipping 4 inch or larger, you just raise the feed roller and it eats it up. The hydraulic control valve is well positioned. When chipping damp material, just kick it in neutral to allow the discharge chute to clear and not plug while the feed roller maintains its bite on the log. I would have gladly paid more for such a fine machine! I highly recommend it. It is truly HD. RFS, Alma, WV

My review on a New Holland TC33DA

So now I have used this thing for a year with my landscape business that does a lot of tree work. I could not be happier with the machines preformance. I can load right into one of the one ton dumps, or even directly into one of the 10 cu. ft. wheel barrels with very little mess. I have no complaints with how the machine is built, and I am confident that it will hold up to the monthly abuse it will see in "for profit" work environment. Dave A.D.S. Landscape & Garden Elgin, IL

Out-Performs Anything Else I've Owned

My neutral comments are more about me than the performance of the Woodmaxx; being a “senior citizen,” arthritis in my hands caused trouble with assembling a couple of parts on the Woodmaxx, so I modidied them. I was completely satisfied with the professionalism of and how my order was handled. Questions were immediately answered to my great satisfaction. I was astounded by the way it was packed and crated, I have never seen a piece of equipment so professionally packed—no wiggle room for something to be damaged. Assembly was relatively simple by following the manual. Further instructions about tightening the hydraulic lines was very useful. Having owned a PTO chipper before I am amazed at the technology in this piece of equipment as compared to the standard PTO Chipper. The capabilities and performance are unequalled. Keeping within the specifications of the chipper it out-performs anything else I have ever owned, it is an outstanding piece of equipment
