1PREFACE
1.1 Identification
The Victory WC-8H is a robust, compact PTO-driven wood chipper with a self-propelled hydraulic
auto-infeed system with an impressive 8 x 8” infeed opening.
The WC-8H is used on smaller sub-compact tractors with as little as 15 hp at the PTO, such as BX
series Kubotas, John Deere 1000 series, New Holland, Massy Ferguson GC series, Mahindra Max
series, and more.
The Victory WC-8H-series woodchipper is compact yet built to withstand commercial use. Using
two powerful hydraulic infeed motors, the PTO propelled hydraulically powered infeed rollers grab
and pull material into the chipper head. The hydraulic system is powered by a belt-driven hydraulic
pump in the woodchipper.
1.2 CE Type Plate
The type plate shows the following data:
◼Name of the Manufacturer.
◼Address of the Manufacturer.
◼Machine Model and Type.
◼Manufacturing date.
◼Serial Number.
◼Power.
