NEW UPGRADED FEATURES FOR 2012!

MADE IN USA BLADES INSTALLED ON EVERY CHIPPER

ALL WOODMAXX™ CHIPPERS NOW COME STANDARD WITH MADE IN USA BLADES INSTALLED (2 SINGLE-EDGE FLYWHEEL BLADES & 1 ANVIL BED BLADE). DESIGNED FOR EXTREME DUTY - THERE IS NO BETTER MATERIAL THAT CAN BE USED FOR SUPERIOR LIFE AND PERFORMANCE THAN OUR HEAT TREATED, THROUGH HARDENED, HIGH CARBON, HIGH CHROMIUM, A-8 TOOL STEEL BLADES.  ALL WOODMAXX™ CHIPPERS USE MADE IN USA CLASS 12.9 HOLO-KROME BLADE BOLTS TO SECURE THE BLADES.  HIGH QUALITY BLADES AND BLADE BOLTS ARE SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR A CHIPPER TO WORK EFFICIENTLY AND SAFELY.

HARDENED STEEL CHISEL BAR INFEED ROLLERS

THIS TYPE OF INFEED ROLLER IS FOUND ON LARGER, MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE MACHINES. WOODMAXX™ POWER FEED CHIPPERS NOW UTILIZE INFEED ROLLERS WITH HIGH CARBON STEEL CHISEL BARS. AFTER WELDING, THESE ROLLERS ARE INDUCTION HARDENED TO ENSURE THAT THEY STAY SHARP FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TYPE OF ROLLER IS THAT IT AGGRESSIVELY GRABS ANY SIZE LIMB UP TO 8" - WITH OR WITHOUT LEAVES. SMALL, VINE TYPE MATERIAL AS WELL AS LONG OR SHORT NEEDLE PINE IS NO PROBLEM FOR THE WOODMAXX™ 8" PTO CHIPPER.

WOODMAXX™FEATURES ALWAYS INCLUDE:

2 YEAR WARRANTY

THIS ROBUST CHIPPER COMES WITH AN EQUALLY ROBUST 2 YEAR WARRANTY.  OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO STOCKS A FULL LINE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS.

200 LB. FLYWHEEL

WOODMAXX™ CHIPPERS NOW USE A 200 LB. FLYWHEEL TO DELIVER THE ENERGY TO DEFTLY CHIP ALL TYPES OF MATERIAL.

2” (50MM) MAIN SHAFT

THE LARGER, MORE DURABLE SHAFT ALLOWS FOR LARGER, STRONGER BEARINGS.

HEAVY DUTY CAST STEEL BEARING HOUSINGS

3 HEAVY DUTY CAST STEEL BEARINGS SUPPORT THE MAIN SHAFT WHICH PASSES THROUGH THE FLYWHEEL HOUSING AND IS SUPPORTED ON EITHER SIDE BY FLANGE BEARINGS. THESE HEAVY DUTY, SHOCK RESISTANT CAST STEEL BEARINGS ARE MUCH MORE DURABLE THAN CAST IRON – A UNIQUE FEATURE OF THE WOODMAXX™ CHIPPER.  (1 PILLOW BLOCK, 2 FLANGE BEARINGS)

MAIN SHAFT SUPPORTED BY 3 BEARINGS

THE 2” MAIN SHAFT ON THE WM-SERIES CHIPPER PASSES THROUGH THE FLYWHEEL HOUSING AND IS SUPPORTED BY 1 PILLOW BLOCK AND 2 FLANGE BEARINGS.  THIS FEATURE, COMBINED WITH THE 2” SHAFT, ALLOWS THE FLYWHEEL TO RUN MORE TRUE AND ADDS A GREAT DEAL OF STRENGTH.  (OTHER CHIPPERS USE A 1 3/4” SHAFT, 2 PILLOW BLOCK BEARINGS AND THE FLYWHEEL IS CANTILEVERED BEYOND THE BEARING.  WITH THIS SETUP, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BREAKING A BEARING HOUSING IF THE MACHINE JAMBS). 

IMPROVED INFEED DRIVE AXLE

THE WOODMAXX™ WM-8M USES THE STRONGEST INFEED DRIVE AXLE AVAILABLE.  THE SLIP JOINT IS A SPLINE TYPE SIMILAR TO THE SPLINE OF YOUR TRACTOR.  THE U JOINT IS A STRONG BLOCK AND PIN TYPE WITH A RUBBER BOOT THAT COVERS THE WHOLE JOINT.  THIS BOOT KEEPS THE ELEMENTS AND DEBRIS FROM WEARING ON THE JOINT.  WOODMAXX™ IS THE ONLY CHIPPER TO OFFER THIS TYPE OF SHAFT FOR LONG LIFE.

DOUBLE INFEED ROLLERS

THE WOODMAXX™  WM-8M NOW UTILIZES 2 INFEED ROLLERS.  THE TOP ROLLER IS A POWERED CHISEL BAR DESIGN THAT IS SPRING LOADED TO KEEP DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE LIMBS.  THE LOWER ROLLER IS SMOOTH AND SPINS FREE.  THE PURPOSE OF THIS LOWER ROLLER IS TO REDUCE FRICTION ALLOWING THE LIMBS TO PASS EASILY INTO THE CHIPPER HEAD.  A WOODMAXX™ EXCLUSIVE – NO OTHER PTO CHIPPER OFFERS THIS FEATURE. 

VARIABLE SPEED DUAL HYDRAULIC INFEED MOTORS

VARIABLE SPEED (0-35 FT/MIN) AGGRESSIVE DUAL COUNTER ROTATING HYDRAULIC POWERED INFEED ROLLERS WORK TOGETHER TO PULL MATERIAL INTO THE CHIPPER HEAD.  THIS FEATURE ALLOWS THE USER TO SLOW THE INFEED SPEED DOWN TO ACCEPT LARGE MATERIAL.  (ALSO HELPFUL TO TRULY REGULATE THE CHIP SIZE).  YOU CAN ALSO REVERSE THE ROLLERS IF NECESSARY.

FULLY ADJUSTABLE INFEED ROLLER TENSION SPRINGS

THE WOODMAXX™ CHIPPER NOW UTILIZES TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF SPRINGS. ONE SET OF STANDARD DUTY SPRINGS FOR SOFT MATERIAL AND ONE SET OF HIGH TENSION SPRINGS FOR HARD MATERIAL IN CONJUNCTION WITH A UNIQUE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM, OFFER A FULL RANGE OF VARIABLE DOWN PRESSURE

MADE IN USA BLADES

WE STOCK MADE IN USA REPLACEMENT BLADES AND MADE IN USA HOLO-KROME CLASS 12.9 BLADE BOLTS FOR THE WM-SERIES CHIPPERS.  DESIGNED FOR EXTREME DUTY - THERE IS NO BETTER MATERIAL THAT CAN BE USED FOR SUPERIOR LIFE AND PERFORMANCE THAN OUR HEAT TREATED, THROUGH HARDENED, HIGH CARBON, HIGH CHROMIUM, A-8 TOOL STEEL BLADES.  WHEN PURCHASED WITH THE CHIPPER, REPLACEMENT BLADES ARE ONLY $135 FOR A SET OF MADE IN USA FLYWHEEL BLADES (2 PIECE SET + 8 HOLO-KROME BOLTS).

WEIGHT

WM-8M 950 LBS.

MORE WEIGHT = MORE STEEL

MORE STRENGTH & STABILITY...PERIOD.

 TRUE 8” X 8” INFEED OPENING

WOODMAXX™ WM-SERIES CHIPPERS OFFER A LARGE 8” x 8” INFEED TO EASILY ACCEPT THOSE CROOKED BRANCHES.  (OTHER 8” CHIPPERS OPEN 8” WIDE BUT ONLY 4 1/2” HIGH).

 FLYWHEEL CHAMBER VENTILATION

WOODMAXX™ WM-SERIES CHIPPERS INCORPORATE A SERIES OF VENTILATION HOLES IN THE FLYWHEEL CHAMBER. THIS FEATURE CREATES A STRONG VACUUM THAT DRAWS AIR INTO THE FLYWHEEL CHAMBER, AND IN COMBINATION WITH THE FAN BLADES ON THE BACK OF THE FLYWHEEL FORCEFULLY EJECTS THE CHIPS OUT OF THE CHAMBER, KEEPING THE DISCHARGE CHUTE CLEAR.

3/8” THICK FLYWHEEL HOUSING

WOODMAXX™ WM-SERIES CHIPPERS USE 3/8” THICK STEEL FOR THE FLYWHEEL HOUSING.  SINCE THE FLANGE BEARINGS ARE MOUNTED ON THE FLYWHEEL HOUSING, THIS GIVES ADDED STRENGTH AND RIGIDITY.  (OTHER CHIPPERS USE ONLY 1/4” STEEL).

 EASY BLADE ACCESS PANELS

WOODMAXX™ WM-SERIES CHIPPER BLADES CAN BE CHANGED FROM THE SIDE OF THE MACHINE BY ONE MAN.  (OTHER CHIPPERS REQUIRE YOU TO REACH INTO THE INFEED BIN TO HOLD THE HEAD OF THE BOLT WHILE SOMEONE ELSE TURNS THE NUT FROM THE BACKSIDE OF THE FLYWHEEL).

 SINGLE EDGE FLYWHEEL BLADES

WOODMAXX™ WM-SERIES CHIPPERS USE A SINGLE EDGE BLADE THAT IS BOLTED INTO A MILLED POCKET IN THE FLYWHEEL WHICH IS STRONGER BY DESIGN.  (ANY MACHINE THAT USES DOUBLE EDGE BLADES CAN ONLY BE SUPPORTED BY BOLTS BECAUSE THE BACK OF THE BLADE IS TAPERED.  THIS IS A WEAK POINT IF THE MACHINE JAMBS.  THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BLADE AND BOLT BREAKAGE). 

STATIONARY BED BLADE

WOODMAXX™ WM-SERIES CHIPPERS DO NOT USE ADJUSTABLE BED BLADES. THERE IS A BELIEF THAT ADJUSTING THE BED BLADE WILL CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE CHIP - WRONG.  TO ADJUST THE SIZE OF THE CHIP, YOU HAVE TO REGULATE THE INFEED SPEED.  THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED ON THE WM-8H.  ALSO, ADJUSTABLE BED BLADES, IF NOT TORQUED PROPERLY CAN LOOSEN AND SLIDE FORWARD COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE FLYWHEEL BLADES.  OUR BLADES ARE FIXED SO YOU NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

 HEAVY DUTY COGGED 17MM DRIVE BELTS

(STANDARD BX-SERIES)

WOODMAXX™ WM-SERIES CHIPPERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH COGGED 17MM WIDE DRIVE BELTS.  THESE USA BX-SERIES BELTS CAN BE PURCHASED AT ANY AUTO PARTS STORE.  (OTHER CHIPPERS USE 15MM BELTS - TRY TO FIND THOSE IN THE USA).

 HANDY FEED ROLLER ASSIST HANDLE

LOCATED ON TOP OF MACHINE

THIS FEATURE ALLOWS THE USER TO ACCESS THE HANDLE FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE MACHINE.  THE CENTER LIFT POINT ALLOWS THE WM-SERIES CHIPPER TO USE STRONGER TENSION SPRINGS, INCREASING INFEED ABILITY.

SWIVEL DISCHARGE CHUTE

THE SWIVEL DISCHARGE CHUTE ALLOWS YOU TO DIRECT THE CHIPS INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK OR TRAILER WITHOUT HAVING TO MOVE THE ENTIRE MACHINE AND IS ALSO CONVENIENT FOR STORAGE. 

RUST RESISTANT POWDER COAT FINISH

POWDER COAT IS A “BAKED-ON” FINISH, SUPERIOR TO PAINT.

 CLEAR RUBBER BAFFLE

THE CLEAR RUBBER BAFFLE FEATURE PROTECTS THE USER FROM CHIP BLOW-BACK, WHILE ALLOWING THE USER TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE HOPPER.

MACHINE 90% ASSEMBLED UPON DELIVERY

WOODMAXX™ CHIPPERS COME SHIPPED TO YOU IN A STEEL CRATE WITH THE BASE ALREADY ON THE CHIPPER.  ALL WOODMAXX™ CHIPPERS ARE INSPECTED AND SERVICED PRIOR TO LEAVING OUR WAREHOUSE (DRIVE BELTS ARE ALIGNED AND TIGHTENED, BLADES ARE ADJUSTED AND TORQUED DOWN) WHICH GREATLY REDUCES ASSEMBLY TIME.  JUST FOLLOW THE ILLUSTRATED, AMERICAN WRITTEN, USER-FRIENDLY ASSEMBLY MANUAL AND YOU WILL BE UP AND RUNNING IN ABOUT 2 HOURS.
