Brother and I are looking to pull the trigger on this stump grinder and their WC88 chipper for clean up at the tree farm where we have some trees right by the house that are marked for harvest and culls. Mainly to ensure safety of the house and future outbuilding. Anyone use this company?
I have the stump grinder, it’s a beast and works well, buy extra teeth if you have big rocks or ledge. I had the wc88 little brother the wc46, I think the design is exactly the same just everything is smaller. It is well made and will do the job. I sold it when I upgraded to a bigger tractor and got a Salsco chipper that has dual infeed rollers, instead of just one like the Woodland Mills chippers. The single infeed roller can still be a pain to feed esp with Ys and crotches, the single roller just doesn’t grab hold very well. Also it can struggle with very small or green brush that can jam up easily behind the roller before the chipper wheel.
I have their biggest sawmill. Good products for the price. The products are built overseas, but the quality is not bad at all imo. The company is based out of Canada, and has top notch customer service.
I have the stump grinder and the WC88 chipper. Got a deal on them barely used that was too good to pass up. I have ground close to 100 stumps so far, no issues at all. Take your time and it will be fine, pine is easy to grind, red oak and elm take longer and less of a bite with each pass. I didn't get the tool to change the teeth when I picked up them up, emailed the company and they were super quick to respond and mail me a torque wrench extension tool. I would buy from them again as the product is a great value for cost.
I sent a wire transfer today so I should be get a call on delivery soon. One of the guys I worked with has a side job with his little John Deere- I invited him to check my grinder out- he already has the same unit we are getting and gives it good reviews. my brother uses his Kubota for light work for construction contractors who are ready to move to their next build site. I told him he same jobs he is on could have a little extra revenue by stump work.
Both items arrived, and are awaiting my brother to mount the on the tractors to determine the length of the PTO shafts. I am leaving for a vacation, so I am hopeful they will be operational when we return.
