We use a Makita mortise machine to cut most of our mortises. 
We do have a HolzHer Mortise machine as well 
The Makita cuts a 11/16 or 13/16 wide mortise depending on the chain you have on it and will cut 7″ deep, while the HolzHer cuts in the opposite direction and cuts a 2″ wide Mortise and will cut up to 12″ deep. I think the Makita is a better all around machine due to it’s versatility, and you can clamp the Makita to your work piece. The HolzHer sits on the timber but does not clamp down to the piece you are working on.
