At the ceiling

A tractor exactly at a published maximum is inside it, but there is no margin. Ask Farmer-Helper or Farmry before running FH-BX62S or WCAP5 Pro on the mechanical 50A.

WC68 or MX-9900

Woodland Mills WC68 (20–50 PTO hp) gets full feed over 40, which both 50A versions clear. WoodMaxx MX-9900 starts at 25 and reaches full capacity at 50+. The comparison below sets them side by side.

Both Wallensteins

The 52-hp engine is inside BX52S (22–55) and BX72S (50–85), 2 over BX72S’s minimum.

Lift

Case IH lists 2,310 lb at 24 inches behind the pin; of the chippers it has the power for, Wallenstein’s BX72RI has the highest published weight, 1,300 lb.

Wallenstein hydraulic-feed BXR chippers

Wallenstein’s current pages rate the 5-inch BX52RI (30–55 engine hp, Category I) and the 7-inch BX72RI (45–85 engine hp, Category I and II). Two hydraulic rollers pull material in at a set rate, and P3 PULSE reverses them when the rotor slows; they need 3–6 gpm from a rear remote or Wallenstein’s PTO-driven power pack. The Case IH Farmall 50A’s 52 engine hp is inside the BX52RI’s range on both the page and the manual. It is inside the BX72RI’s range on both the page and the manual. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,310 lb, carries the 1,300-lb BX72RI with 1,010 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
