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.
