Looking for faster cutting, easier maintenance, and higher efficiency?
CP85 is the version most users choose.
FAQs
1. What makes CP85 different from the standard WCAP5?
CP85 is the PRO (performance) version of the WCAP5 series, designed for users who want faster cutting speed, easier maintenance, and higher overall efficiency from a 3 point hitch wood chipper.
Compared with WCAP5, this PTO wood chipper features a speed-increasing steel gearbox, tool-free hinged maintenance access, and broader 3 point hitch compatibility. These upgrades help reduce downtime and increase productivity when chipping wood frequently. For most users, CP85 is the recommended wood chipper model.
2. What tractors and PTO setups are compatible with CP85?
CP85 is designed to work with a wide range of tractor setups commonly used in the U.S. market.
It is compatible with:
- CAT 1N, CAT 1, and CAT 2 3 point hitch systems
- Class 1 Quick Hitch systems that meet ASABE standards
A PTO shaft included allows direct connection to your tractor PTO, making setup straightforward for compact and utility tractors used on farms, orchards, and landscaping jobs.
3. What is the chipping capacity of CP85 and what materials can it handle?
CP85 offers a 5-inch chipping capacity, ideal for processing everyday wood debris.
This wood chipper is designed to handle:
- Tree branches and limbs
- Storm debris and brush piles
- General wood material found in farm, orchard, and woodland maintenance
It efficiently turns material into uniform chips, helping operators clear land faster and reuse chips as mulch or remove them easily.
4. How does the speed-increasing gearbox improve performance?
The speed-increasing steel gearbox raises the rotor and flywheel speed, which improves cutting efficiency and chip discharge.
By increasing rotor speed, CP85:
- Cuts wood more smoothly and consistently
- Improves airflow through the discharge chute
- Maintains better performance when feeding mixed or wet material
In real-world use, this results in higher throughput per hour and smoother operation during continuous jobs.
5. Is the PTO shaft included and is CP85 difficult to set up?
Yes. CP85 comes with a PTO shaft included, allowing it to be connected directly to your tractor PTO without additional purchases.
Setup and operation are similar to other 3 point hitch wood chipper equipment. Once attached, the gravity-assisted hopper and smooth feed design help the machine handle wood efficiently with less manual effort.
6. How easy is maintenance and blade service on CP85?
Maintenance on CP85 is designed to be quick and user-friendly. The machine features tool-free, hinged access to the infeed area, flywheel housing, and blade section.
Key maintenance benefits include:
- Fast access for cleaning and inspection
- Reversible blades with double-sided cutting edges to extend blade life
- Reduced downtime between jobs
This makes CP85 easier to maintain and more efficient for users who chip wood regularly.
