Tractor reference: LS MT347 gear / MT347H HST by the July 2025 brochure (reversed on the model page); Category 1 or 2 depending on the source; 2,469 lb at 24 in. (owner manual). All results held for review.

BX52S or BX72S

Wallenstein BX52S (5-inch) runs 22–55 engine hp and fits the MT347’s 47; BX72S (7-inch) starts at 50, 3 above it. The comparison below sets them side by side.

WC68 full feed

Woodland Mills says over 40 PTO hp for full 6-inch feed. The MT347 is 0.1 short on the higher LS figure and 2.4 short on the lower one, so WC68 runs but feeds the biggest wood more slowly.

Which PTO figure

LS’s July 2025 brochure prints the higher PTO figure under the gear columns; the current model page assigns it to the hydrostatic. This site follows the brochure and holds every result for review. Ask the dealer for the rating of the actual transmission.

Lift

LS’s September 2025 owner manual lists 2,469 lb 24 inches behind the lift point (2,755 lb at the link ends). The heaviest attachment here, WoodMaxx FM-78H at 968 lb, is well under it; ballast as the manual directs.

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 LS MT347’s 47 engine hp is inside the BX52RI’s range on both the page and the manual. It is inside the BX72RI page’s 45–85 but under the 50 that the manual’s table gives for the BX72R, so ask Wallenstein which floor applies to the serial on offer. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,469 lb, carries the 1,300-lb BX72RI with 1,169 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
