THE SHORT ANSWER

Is BX52RI worth a closer look?

A 5-inch chipper with powered feed rollers and a published ceiling: hydraulic feed pulls brush in at a controlled rate, and P3 PULSE reverses the rollers when the rotor slows. It needs 3–6 gpm from a rear remote or Wallenstein’s PTO power pack, and its 30-hp floor is 10 below the manual’s 40 for the BX52R.

The seller confirms the exact setup, current price and delivery. No field test or manufacturer-confirmed pairing is claimed.

THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE

Know before you order.

  • The current page lists 30–55 engine HP for the BX52RI; Wallenstein’s lineup page gives 40–55 for the BX52R. The BXR manual’s §10.1 table, headed BX52R, gives 40–55 hp without a basis. This site screens the BX52RI on the page’s figure and flags the conflict.
  • Mounting: Cat I, iMatch & Quick Hitch compatible on the current page.
  • Hydraulic feed: 3–6 gpm. Without a rear remote, the feed needs Wallenstein’s PTO-driven power pack.
  • Capacity 5 inches; rotor 25 inches with four reversible knives; discharge 74 inches high, 360° rotation.
  • Rated speed 540–1000 rpm; run the speed the delivered driveline is built for.
  • Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
