BX52S

THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE

Know before you order.

• The current U.S. page explicitly labels the published band Engine HP Range. The Jan-2025 manual repeats the numbers under a generic HP Range heading; it does not establish a separate PTO-horsepower limit. Do not substitute PTO hp or estimate engine-to-PTO losses.
• The page and manual specification table print 540–1000 rpm. Manual p14 explicitly says tractor PTO 540 or 1000 rpm. These are two documented settings, not approval for every intermediate speed; confirm the delivered driveline and tractor PTO configuration.
• The manual confirms a supplied PTO shaft that may need shortening for the tractor. Quick-hitch compatibility does not settle shaft length, overlap, guarding, working angle, clearance or lift capacity.
• The published diameter and rectangular housing opening are different specifications. No model-specific horsepower-to-full-capacity condition, species allowance or moisture guarantee was found in the reviewed Wallenstein documents; minimum engine power is not a promise to process maximum-diameter material.
• The current manual p40 and page specify 360-degree discharge rotation, while the same manual standard-feature list says 270 degrees. Confirm the delivered chute travel before planning the collection position.
• Manual p40 prints adjustable PTO height 13.44–19.0 inches with an inconsistent metric range; the page rounds the inch range to 13–19. Use delivered measurements instead of silently converting the conflicting range.
• Ask for a current U.S. quote. The manufacturer’s page directs buyers to a seller and does not provide a numeric price; confirm availability, delivery, setup and options.
• BX52S page dimensions are 61×64×66 inches open and 43×42×66 folded (L×W×H). Manual p40 instead lists an unlabeled 43×55×66-inch envelope. The folding feature is documented; its exact delivered dimensions need confirmation.
• The current page lists a separate 1000-rpm shaft, Z44506. The manual’s supported 1000-rpm setting is not evidence that the standard supplied shaft supports the purchaser’s 1000-rpm PTO.

Unit weight

Official page Total Weight and Jan-2025 manual Weight: 505 lb. Neither states whether the supplied shaft and all operating equipment are included; complete operating and separate shipping weights remain unverified.

Hydraulics

Gravity/manual feed with direct PTO drive. No powered hydraulic feed circuit or tractor feed-remotes requirement is specified; no feed-circuit flow or pressure is applicable. Tractor three-point lifting still needs separate verification.

Accessories & setup

Supplied PTO shaft documented in the operator manual; tractor-specific sizing remains required. Manual lists a ledger-clearance tool and adjustable ski base. Current page separately lists 1000-rpm PTO shaft Z44506, ledger knife 1011M104, gauge 1012L269 and rotor knife 1011M103 as accessories/service parts; listing does not prove inclusion.

Specifications are manufacturer-published, not measured by Acreage Equipment. A shipping weight is not treated as operating weight.
