FAQs
1. What tractors can run this PTO wood chipper and stump grinder combo?
This PTO wood chipper and stump grindercombo is designed for compact and small utility tractor models in the 15–45 HP range. As long as your tractor has a rear PTO at 540 RPM and a Category 1 three-point hitch, it can run both attachments in this bundle. That means most acreage owners, property managers, and farmers with 15–45 horsepower machines can hook up the equipment without extra adapters or specialty accessories.
2. What material capacity and cutting depth can I expect?
On the chipping side, the WCAP5 wood chipper is rated to process fresh wood up to 5" in diameter and dry branches up to 4". It turns limbs, brush, and yard debris into uniform chips you can use as mulch around your property. On the grinding side, the SG24 Pro stump grinder is built to grind stumps down to roughly 6" below the ground, giving you the practical cutting depth needed to reclaim lawns, trails, and building sites. At normal PTO RPM, the grinding wheel speed and chipper disc speed are tuned for efficient material flow rather than just maximum speed, helping you work steadily through tough stumps and brush without over-loading the machine.
3. What’s included in the bundle – do I need to buy extra accessories?
This bundle pairs the SG24 Pro and WCAP5 so you get two full-size stump grinders and pto wood chipper functions in one purchase. The SG24 Pro is a pto driven stump grinder with a heavy frame, 24" cutter disc, and carbide teeth, while the WCAP5 is a 5" pto wood chipper built for 15–45 HP tractor work. Both units arrive with the correct driveline and a built-in slip clutch to help protect your PTO system in overload situations. You also receive extra replacement teeth, chipper blades, and other critical replacement parts as a free wear kit, so you have the key accessories on hand when it’s time to service the unit. For most users, there’s no need to purchase additional attachments to get started beyond standard safety gear.
4. Does this setup require hydraulics or a gas powered engine?
No additional engine is needed. Both the stump grinder and the wood chipper are powered entirely by your tractor’s rear PTO, so you don’t have another gas powered engine to fuel, store, or service. The design does not depend on external hydraulics for feed or control, which simplifies operation and improves reliability in the field. As long as your tractor delivers adequate power at the PTO within the 15–45 HP range, you get consistent performance from both machines without extra pumps, hoses, or valves to maintain.
5. How do I maintain the stomp grinder and wood chipper over time?
Routine maintenance is straightforward and helps you maintain cutting performance while protecting your investment and saving money over the long term. The main tasks are keeping the carbide teeth and chipper knives sharp, checking fasteners on the frame, monitoring PTO drivelines with slip clutches, and cleaning out built-up wood chips or brush from the housings after each job. The product manual covers grease points, inspection intervals, and safe procedures in detail. For peace of mind, the combo is backed by a 12-month warranty, and Farmry customer support can help you source OEM-grade replacement parts and accessories if you ever need more than the wear kit supplied with the bundle.
6. Can I buy each item separately?
Yes. If you prefer to start with just one implement, you can purchase them individually here:
– SG24 PRO PTO Stump Grinder
– WCAP5 5" PTO Wood Chipper
Most customers choose the bundle because it saves $199 compared with buying separately.
