THE SHORT ANSWER

Is BX72RI worth a closer look?

The hydraulic-feed counterpart of the BX72S, rated from 45 engine hp on its page rather than BX72S’s 50, and listed for Category I and II. The manual’s table gives 50–85 hp and Category I, so confirm both for the serial on offer, and plan for a 3–6 gpm rear remote or the PTO power pack.

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 45–85 engine HP for the BX72RI; Wallenstein’s lineup page gives 50–85 for the BX72R. The BXR manual’s §10.1 table, headed BX72R, gives 50–85 hp without a basis. This site screens the BX72RI on the page’s figure and flags the conflict.
  • Mounting: Cat I iMatch & Quick Hitch compatible and Cat II on the current page. The manual’s hitching section says the BX72R models are Category I.
  • Hydraulic feed: 3–6 gpm. Without a rear remote, the feed needs Wallenstein’s PTO-driven power pack.
  • Capacity 7 inches; rotor 28 inches with four reversible knives; discharge 90 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.
