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.
